I just had a set of wheels built up for my winter (road) bike. After working things through with my LBS I decided on CXP33 rims, DT double butted spokes and, for a twist, Shimano Deore hubs. After a few miles of riding, I can say that I'm very happy with them. OK, so the aero profile of the CXP33 is not very deep, but this means that tubes with standard length valves are OK. The result is a nice stiff set of wheels. They look nice too .

The previous wheels on this bike were built with Rigida Nova R rims. These showed serious fatigue cracking after 18 months, so the choice of the tough CXP33 seemed like a good idea in my case. OK, so cast me out of the road cycling forum , but the Deore MTB hubs have much better sealing than any similarly priced road hub from Shimano and seem nice quality - the hub body is the same pattern as the Sora model, but the innards are much better protected - something I need whilst commuting in the winter.

Just my two-penneth,

Ed
