I've just had my wheel rebuilt - the old Pacenti SL23 (from last year) cracked around a nipple; a common problem apparently. Replaced under warranty with this year's rim, and one thing I can say straight away - it's SO much easier to get your tyre on. Was able to thumb it on without any effort at all. Granted it was a well used tyre, but seeing as before I'd have to use all the strength my mighty cyclist arms could muster to get it on, this is wonderful.
Assuming it will no longer break, I can now recommend these rims without reservation.
