exalith-coated, wider open pro's
It will be disc brakes for everything pretty soon, I can't see much point in anybody launching a new line of high-end rim-brake product. Also, tubeless will become ubiquitous on good quality bikes. XM819 in road-oriented drillings would be my first choice for a new Mavic rim.

I secretly want disc brakes to be HD-DVD (lol remember that?)

Hydraulics are taking a long time to filter down though it seems. A mate is looking on Wheelies for an insurance replacement at the moment and there are very few disc options <£1500 and no hydro at all. Hard choice between large selection of rim brake frames, or tiny selection of disc frames (future proof).
Only issue is there's a pressure limit of 80psi written on the rims, that wasn't mentioned on the site at all before buying.
.I don't suppose anybody choosing a 25mm wide rim is going to be using less than 28C tyres, that's 70psi front and 80psi rear for me and I'm 100kg. I don't suppose they've bothered to put a proper table on the side of the rim, as maximum pressure depends on the tyre section for practical rim designs.
Hrm.. I hadn't considered this. Was vaguely planning to get a set of those rims and run 25mm tyres (or 27mm paves if they'll fit my frame). Total weight about 80kg including bike.

Why can't they just admit that no one wants their hubs and spokes and sell exalith-coated, wider open pro's and clean up. Despite lasting longer, they would surely still make more money as everyone and their dog would have them, no?
the rims on cx-rays and some r45's would be a killer wheelset.
