ChainReaction, the LBS (originally from NI) sells few rims these days, Mavic and a few others, hence the CXP33 for trying to get something local (support the LBS) I'll see what they say. Perhaps they can order Kinlin in.
I've only ever used an OpenSport which was just fine after a few months on crappy roads built within about 1mm, not out of true at all. But near the seam on the rim it was always a bit out, so the metal wasn't perfect there.
Your wheels/rims look great, just out of my budget unfortunately.
Tx for all the tips :)

The mavic CXP33 is a bit heavy but that is not the issue but it is narrow. You will enjoy riding a wider rim like the Kinlin XC-279 or the new XR22T (superstar sell these but call them something else). Your LBS should be able to get the kinlin if they have a whiskers account.
The DT Swiss r460 is another option for a wide medium depth rims. All these rims are under £40 but wide and lighter than the mavic.
Nothing wrong with DT comps but sapim race are normally cheaper.
I have not searched google for that rim so no idea where I would come up. It is one I hardly ever get asked to use it not very popular. I suggested it because it is wide, stiff and cheap no other reason. Superstar probably do them cheaper than I can anyway.
