I have some worn out mavic cxp 33 rims that I need to replace on a campy chorus wheelset. I've been thinking of going with the kinlin rims to replace them because they seem to be the only ones to offer 36 holes (unless you go direct to taiwan to get the archetypes and then pay the $$ shipping). Not sure the 25-50 grams/rim will make that much difference given that bike+rider weight is in the 210-215 pound range even though I do live amongst a fair bit of hills. Do either of them cause much difficulty mounting tires that I'd want thin tape or veloplugs instead of my usual velox? I've been considering the veloplugs option anyway just to try something different.
