Do you have any suggestions for rims? I only picked the Open Pros because I've heard so many people talk about them. I generally ride 28mm tires, but wouldn't mind being able to rock 32s or 35s so I can still commute on it during the winter months.
The Open Pro was a favorite rim for cyclocross wheels before the deep section types took over and they were routinely used with 700-32 and 35 tires.
