H Plus Son rims - are they any good?

somehow even thought their rims have problem I already have more respect toward them than Velocity.

how, they are thinner deeper rims, that people have said there are many troubles with. i've abosultely hammered my deep v's on my polo bike and they are still going strong.

i can't believe a rim could split down several spoke holes like that. maybe because the triangle profile is elongated unlike the equilateral(ish) profile of a normal rim it just isn't strong enough.
if it was double eyeleted i doubt it would have failed so spectacularly.

eyelet isn't the problem it was inner box section. you can't eyelet a deep v rim anyway ie cxp33

You should be fine with a 36h front! That'd still flatten curbs :)

Still, I'm glad I've gone for Mavic/Campag for 2009s wheels.
more chance of happening to 36H as there is less gap between the holes, esp at the valve.
