Does anyone still make a 26" narrow rim?

Hi there,

Believe it or not, I'm running two 26-er rigid steel mountainbike frames. One of them is 9 speed. Sure, practically a museum piece, I get it.

Anyway, they're both on Mavic XM719 disc-only rims, which have an internal diameter of 19mm. I run narrow tyres as I'm mostly riding on pavement.

The rear rim on one is cracked, and I'm having a hell of a job finding a replacement. The XM719 is long gone, and Mavic and a whole host of the other suspects don't appear to make anything in 26" with a narrow profile of approximately 20mm internal / 24mm external.

Any suggestions? 26" rims specifically, please — I'd like to avoid ordering a 27.5-compatible frame and wheels under the current conditions.

Cheers.

Whoops, I may have just found one: Alexrims list their MD19 at 26″ 559X19.

I swear I've been searching since yesterday. Obviously not on the Alexrims website ....

Any other suggestions welcome, though. Cheers!
