  • I think the CXP33's look really good without being over the top as the deep v's can be.. especially if your hubs are 36, you don't need rims that heavy to build a decent, very strong wheel. You'd probably be good with Open Pro's as well, but they're not "aero" hehe.

    If you go for CXP33's (or any other rims really, I'm sure it'd work just the same), check cyclebasket.com for whatever price they charge and then get chainreactioncycles to price match. It worked for me, even with the rims being out of stock at cycle basket. Saved about 8 quid + postage (free on CRC, 6 quid on cycle basket..).

    Wheelbuilding in itself is easy, email me if you need help or links to good guides. The hard bit is knowing when to stop tensioning the spokes, which is something I don't think I have mastered yet! A good idea would be to build and tension the wheels and then ask your local wheel builder to have a look and give you some feedback :)
