Do you have open pros? cos I was looking into them for an upgrade wheel-set whenever I get the money. Don't know how much of an upgrade that will be over my stock rush-hour wheels, just basic stuff, but they do get out of true quite often. I might go with the mavics though if i ever do swap them out, they're almost the same price as deep-vs, and much lighter. I ride my bike to go fast and have a good time, quality over flash anyday.
