Pair of Mavic Open Pro Ceramic 32h.
These are pretty old, but zero rim wear because, er,they don't wear.
The hubs were rebuilt because one of the rims was scraped against a kerb and has a scratch in the ceramic coating. See photos.
These rims are awesome- last forever, stealthy colour, pretty light but pretty sturdy. Classic profile.
I would not recommend using the damaged rim with a brake, the irregularity in the braking surface was apparent under braking. They would make a great pair of wheels for a front brake only Road Fixed.
....worth knowing that you should run the correct brake pads with these rims, and that the braking can be a bit hit and miss when the rim is bit glazed, as these are. Still, they will last forever, or at least until you crash them cos you can't stop. (It's not that bad...)
