Does anyone have any experience of the AL33 rims from AForce? I need a new set of wheels for my Enigma, as I ended up having to make an emergency new front wheel purchase halfway through Transalp. One more decent descent and the front rim was going to fall apart. After having had to chop a Dura Ace C35 to rescue the hub, I'm definitely not getting another factory wheelset, but I definitely do want aluminium braking surfaces. And the emergency purchase RS11 front wheel, while no doubt functional in its own way, is not staying on the bike.
I know the XR31t is the sensible choice, being cheaper and more aero at sensible yaw angles, but I keep on being tempted by the smoothly rounded curves of the AL33.
