I'll be putting these on my Lemond Zurich for training, I suppose. I don't race, but I like to go out and get a good workout a few times a week when the weather is decent. These won't be used for commuting; I have another bike for that. I also run 25s - just get a smoother ride out of them than the 23s I had before. These will be used in Milwaukee, which doesn't have the best roads. I also weigh 180... so, I'm a "heavy" cyclist, albeit a light Sconie.
From what people are saying, it sounds like I should keep the Open Pros in the running, but also look at the CXP33 and the Velocity Aerohead. I like the price of the Aerohead - but looks like it is a bit of a weaker rim. But given that I'm locked into 32 spokes in both the front and the back, I'd guess I could do 3x in the back, maybe 2x in the front, and it'd be more than good enough. I was reading up on the Velocity Fusion - just looks a bit more rugged.
