Velocity makes a bunch of other rims that would be much better choices, such as the Aerohead OC.
I have CXP33s on my commuter. And DTs on my road bike - currently RR415 front and RR585 rear (PowerTap). I also have a non-PT RR465 rear wheel.
And IMO the DT Swiss rims are clearly superior to the Mavics. For example, the braking surface is perfectly smooth on the DTs but on the Mavics I can feel the rim joint go under the brake pads when braking. They're both really good rims, but the DTs are just a bit better all around.
Yeah, I know the RR585 is a whole lot heavier than the CXP33.
