What is now Mavic was started in the late 19th century as a maker of bicycle components. Charles Idoux & Lucien Chanel began making bicycle parts in 1889. They called their company "Manufacture d'Articles Vélocipédiques Idoux et Chanel". Obviously Mavic is much easier to say.

It was in 1934 that Mavic hit its stride when they began making aluminum bicycle rims. The Tour de France initially forbade their use, Tour boss Henri Desgrange felt they were unsafe compared to wooden rims. Antonin Magne won his second Tour in 1934 using Mavic rims that were painted to look like ones of wood.

In 1975 Mavic began producing the revolutionary Module E, made with a real hook on the bead. This gave the Michelin Elan and other high-pressure tires a more secure seat and almost eliminated tire blow-offs.

Mavic introduced their own component groupset in 1979. The rear derailleurs were beautifully well-made and had an interesting difference. All the derailleur pivot pins were held in place with removable circlips. The derailleurs could be completely disassembled, cleaned and rebuilt. Broken or worn parts, even of the parallelogram, could be replaced.

Mavic Module E 700c x 36 hole clincher rim. Used

We have two: #1 | #2

This was the rim that started the lightweight clincher revolution. Mavic Module-E rims were introduced in 1975. They were developed in conjunction with Michelin to work with their new Elan tires. Module-E rims were 20mm wide vs. the 22, 23, or 24mm wide alloy rims of the day. They had hooks inside to secure the beads on the Elan tires that prevented their blowing off the rims at higher pressures.
