I recently picked up a set of wheels from Quality bikes (I like building my own wheels but you can pick up wheels sometimes for the price of the parts) with the velocity A23 rims, shimano 105 hubs and DT spokes. The wide rim is cool. The velocity A23 is 23 mm like the H Plus Son. The tire profile with a 700 x 28c on those rims is excellent. The A23s are lighter than the H plus Son TB 14 but I'd lean towards those two rims because I like the wider rim and go with the mavic open sport if I wanted something machine built and relatively inexpensive.
I've been waffling between the Mavic Open Sport and the A23 actually. But that's mostly because I'm vaguely familiar with both. I'm not at all familiar with H Plus Son - so thanks everyone for sharing these other names. Keep 'em comin' gang!
