mavic open pro cd (hard anodized) are fantastic. durable lightweight rim - ran them laced to phils for 5 years as one of my messenger wheelsets without any problems

having a good time with da7600's on deep v's right now... was a tad skeptical of the weight of the rim, but they roll great on the street... the heavier weight gives a bit of extra momentum... and they take the cr*p outta manchester streets...

dont forget, the quality of the ride will also depend on the quality of your wheelbuilder. but you knew that anyway...
