I'm about to build a new set of wheels.
Phil Wood high flange hubs.
I've narrowed the rim choice down to either Open Pro's or CXP 33s.
I want a wheel that is stiff and light. It seems like the Open Pro's will do this job, but the CXPs might be stiffer and a bit more aero.
Will the CXPs build into a wheel (all other things being equal) that is significantly stiffer than an open pro?
Also, does the CXP provide any real aero benefit, as alluded to on the Mavic website?
The CXP weighs only 40g more so if it has any benefits then I'll probably settle for it!
And yes, I have UTFS etc, but couldn't find a discussion on the above.
Cheers.
