What tubular rims are you using for CX. How many spokes? What pattern? How much do you weigh? And, whats your favorite tubular?

Cheers,

I have two sets of Mavic Heliums. They are 28 spoke box section rims. They're GRRREEEEAAAATTTT! (in the voice of Tony the Tiger :) )

I'm using Mavic Reflex and (of all things) Campy Seoul 88 rims. The first is with D/A hubs and 32 Wheelsmith DB spokes. The Campys get 9s Chorus hubs and 32 DB Sapim spokes. This set is wonderfully light. I weigh 225. Yeah, this stuff is rugged.
