any comment on that? bad info? or good info?

I have some 36-hole CR-18s laced to formula hubs on my cyclocross bike. They're OK... but heavy. It's hard to get tires on them. But, they are a great value. Get them if you want a decently priced rim that is fairly tough and you intend to run wide tires (28c or higher). Don't get them if you're concerned with weight or want to run narrow tires.
