I got the information from Peter White, he indicated that he would not warranty the wheels due to me weighing in at 225, but Mavic MIGHT, I have not checked into this.
Opinions here and elsewhere regarding the Open Pros are all over the map, from greatest thing since sliced bread, to never buy again. I imagine that they are pretty solid wheel and would make a fine set. However I have decided to trust Peter on this and look into something that HE will warranty.
After a little more research, I decided to give Velocity Aerohead OC's a look. Peter said that these would work well, and the Deep V would be even a little stronger, (but with a slightly higher weight penalty, I figured this out myself, don't bring up the subject of grams with him
). I ended up going with a 36 spoke Deep V in the rear and a 32 spoke AeroHead in the front. I will be doing TOSRV in Ohio this weekend on them and I will give some feedback on how they do.
I appreciate everyone's input regarding this subject, thanks.
