It's a QBP wheel build purchased from my LBS. CXP22 rims with a 105 hub and swiss spokes. I'm trying to figure out whether to give the father in law my Alex R500 rims with an FSA hub and unknown spokes, which came "factory" with my commuter rig.
Like I said, no ill will towards the father in law, but he does not/will not abuse wheels the way I do.
I can't find any technical info, price differences, anything. The respective websites have no data and I can't find anything good comparitively.
I realize that they're both "entry level", but it's been my understanding that the Mavics are better, even if it's not a CXP33 rim.
