What Brunning said +1....

I am both heavy and death to wimpy gear. I've had my cxp33's for four years.
My LBS said a year ago the wheels were dying, I bought rims and hubs to replace them.
They're in the cellar, the wheels are still cranking. One of these years I'll have to replace them.

OTOH, you prob weigh 100 pounds less than I do, and the Open Pros are what I would ride if I was under 200. Although it is such a pain losing weight that if I ever do get to 200.... I may blow a grand just on wheels to celebrate. That or a custom frame. But I digress... Open Pros are, IMHO, the best general purpose road rim on the market. Btw, the wife has the ceramic pair, the brake coating wears fast. I think Ultegra hubs and OPs are a perfect match.
