Need a New Set of Rims - Strong, Light, Nice...

I really like CXP30's, but I guess they're not in production anymore...

I even like the subtle Deep V's that Dale has in silver on Phil Wood hubs...

What are my options? Any help?

can't you get the rims off of a shopper?

i'm sure they'd fit your 36cm bob jackson.

"subtle deep vs" - there's a phrase you don't see that often. not unlike 'cheap track frame', or 'altruistic estate agent', or 'careful bus-driver'.

jos as some nice rigida's which are cheaper than deep v's ;)

open pros.

Sano I even like the subtle Deep V's that Dale has in silver on Phil Wood hubs...

since when was the deep v a light rim? weight = 582g.

Go for open pros. weight = 425g. Open pros are just as strong.

ooh, 150grams..

why not just not have that second helping of sticky toffee pudding?

Well if you say "ooh, only x grams difference" on every bike component, overall you're going to have a heavier bike even though you wanted a 'light' one.

oh you bugger.

always with the maths and the logic.

well screw you.

pj (pj) ooh, 150grams..

it's rotational weight which has a big effect on how a bike rides if the weight was added to a headset or seatpost the difference would be negligible.

+1

shaving 150g off your rims makes a huge difference compared to shaving 150g (300 for 2 wheelss?) off your frame especially for accelerating or climbing...

screw you too, i knew that.

scrwing me won't improve your performance....nor mine.

hmm..

i must try harder.

winston scrwing me won't improve your performance....nor mine.

He's be 0.005g lighter, so perhaps it would ;)

oh, more than that.

the lovin' tablespoonful.

Et tu, PJ?

I think Open pros are a bit boring looking - hence the CXP30 idea... Someone posted about their wheels earlier where they'd taken the stickers/graphics off the back wheel, but I'm buggered if I can find the link now. Any ideas?

i left a set in the car - let me grab them.

DT swiss, are the ones your talking about sano

ah, cheers Murt

And PJ, you look like you're about to make off with one of those bikes in that shot... Dodgy scally tea leaf...

anyone know how these ride?

it was so exciting. axel merrckx was just out of shot. if he wasn't a six foot belgian son of a legend i woulda been off out of there with a bag of zipps before you say 'you're not as good as your dad'.

and he's saying 'why are you watching me, crazy man?'
