I've got several older sets of Open Pros stil going strong on several of my older rides. I also have the newer (and supposedly not as strong) rim in a 32 hole setup on my one Giordanna. I have put over 1000 miles on that this year with those wheels and have yet to touch them. And I ride on rough cracked chipseal roads all the time so that take a beating. The worse section is this mile long stretch that is slightly downhill. I pretty much run that section a couple of times on my daily rides usually at speeds above 20 mph so the rims take a beating. No problems at all. Oh and I can't seem to get under 180 lbs this year so I am not a lightweight.
