Mavic Open Pro CD????
Building myself up a new set of wheels and wanted to get the black Mavic Open Pros, but I could only find one, so i purchased a Mavic Open Pro CD to be my front. I have heard a number of differing opinions with what "CD" stands for, but I need to figure out what the heck it really is. I am 6'0, 215, am I going to be happy with the CD? How is it different than the regular open pros. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Alex

I believe that the CD refers to a ceramic coating on the braking surface. This coating is very tough and provides better braking in wet weather. For best results, KoolStop makes a special brake pad compound (it is green, btw) especially for ceramic rims.

There are a few choices in the Open Pro line.
CD are the brownish anodized ones. I have a set. Ceramic are a different rim.
