The alloy they use is not strong or stiff.at that weight it's not a great rim.
Tons of swarf and burrs around spoke holes.
Not really round, tension is all over the shop.
Sleeve that joins the rim together is too long making the neighboring spoke beds thicker which really requires you using two longer spokes when using alloy nipples or care about your standards.
Made in USA.Regarding reviews.lots of people rate open pros, completely disregarding the fact that price went up, quality of alloy went down and this "benchmark" road rim now only takes 100 kgf of tension on the drive side before it starts buckling. In the world of heavily dished hubs, that's not that great.unless you weight 60kg and ride on a smooth tarmac at 10km an hour

Care to elaborate? Most reviews of the A23 seem to say it's OK, albeit with swarf round the spoke holes. Price - well, they're much of a muchness I think. More than I'm keen to pay, but I do need a new rim.
Rhyno Lites - looks like they're 630g in 700c guise. Cheap, sure - but wider than I'd been thinking of. I'm only going to be running 28s ...
