at Australialand Favorite Ride: the beach Bike Setup: too many to mention, but basically a few aluminums with 9sp and 10sp Dura-Ace Summary: I'm not light (190lbs), and I was looking for some 30mm rims to replace my old Mavic CXP30s, and these look fantastic, so I bought a couple. These rims are pretty much exactly like a Rigida DP18 or a Velocity Deep V: weigh 580g, have a 582mm ERD, are stiff as bricks and so far just as strong. The advantage of these is that they come in 20 and 24 hole, along with the standard 28 and 32 hole, so the weight weenies have the option of reducing the weight with lower spoke counts. :-)
I have been mashing, trashing, crashing and curb hopping my older 30mm rims for years without so much as knocking them out of true, so, in my opinion, the 100% reliability of such a rim is worth the extra 100 (or so) grams, especially as a rear wheel.
These are by far the best looking 30mm rim available as a 'rim only'. Strengths: Looks.
Price.
Stiffness and strength.
Come in 20, 24, 28 and 32 hole Weaknesses: 580g is probably too heavy for most of today's weight weenies, :-) Similar Products Used: Mavic CXP30, Rigida DP18, Velocity Deep V
