xroads Any comments on the CXP-22's, as Im thinking of building a cheap starter pair using these.
They're fine, and great value too. I had them laced up to some DMR singlespeed hubs (they're trials hubs, I think), and they felt really tough. Open pros are simply lighter, and look nicer. Probably a little stronger, maybe. I'd be guessing.
Just make sure the eyelets are oiled (any light oil will do) when you lace them up, otherwise they kind of gnaw into the rim.
