Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Ritchey WCS Carbon 58's

Are these rims still undimpled Zipps? Carbon Bridge?

Main issue is durability since they will be used for Cross

Ritchey's running a team deal and they are wicked cheap. But debating between them or spending a few hundred more on Edge 68/Alchemy ELF/ORC/CX-Ray setup

FWIW Edge rims are supposed to be pretty darn durable. A buddy of mine rolled a tubular in a Pro/1/2 at ~30 and the rims held up really well. Zipps probably would have cracked in that wreck. Reynolds are also well known for their durability.
