The CR18 rim is heavy. I know sixty fiver will disagree, but a very light fixie is a lot nicer than a heavy one.
Why would I disagree ?
If you are going to pound the cobblestones and potholes the CR18 rims are a good choice and a PX built on a set of these will still curb out at about 20 pounds which is good for a steel bike.
