Thanks for the link Rich but i can't find any ref to that modal type  :-\

nearest i've found is somebody on 'BMX museum' saying they're mid 90's ?

 :) I had some on an 01 Schwinn.I spoke to Mavic fairly recently and they said they didn`t have any interest in remaking BMX rims:(

What's the difference with an XX rim? They seem very close, the XX was introduced in late 95. Nice lite rims!
