Really? Recently, all I see are complaints about how the latest Open Pros aren't nearly as durable as the ones being made several years ago. Lots of reports of rims cracking, spokes pulling through, etc. I've seen these reports in the Clyde and Road forums, among others. I don't think a light-weight wheelset is a bad idea, but I'm not sure I'd take a chance on the Open Pros...
