Mavic CXP23 vs. the CXP33s
I am trying to decide between these two wheels for the commuter I am building up. The CXP33s are lighter as well as a bit more aero, but also more expensive. Does anyone know the difference between them in terms of durability and/or ride quality?
I've read up on both but haven't seen a comparison between the two. Any thoughts on either rim or how the compare would be great - Thanks! |
If I recall, the 33s use double eyelets while the 23s don't have any, correct? I'd go with the 33s.
|
i have a pair of 23s i haven't used much...i should give 'em more use. i've used cxp33s and know they're a good sturdy wheel. from all i can tell on the 23s, they're the same as the 33s...
|
cxp33s aren't that much more expensive if you're building the wheels yourself, so personally i'd spring for 'em since they have eyelets and deeper section. i figure buying quality parts initially rarely comes back to bite you.

cpx 33 have eyelets??
|
^ Yeah, Harris says they don't, but look at the Mavic site. They say they do.
|
My CXP22's have eyelets, I don't see why the other higher end ones wouldn't. A ton of kids are out riding 22's from that ubiquitous 22/Formula wheelset. Great wheels, I'd buy CXP's again.
|
thought that because the cpx33's were deep V there would not be enough surface area to put eyelets in the rim.
|
Thanks for the responses. I ended up ordering the CXP33's. All in all it came to a bit more than I wanted to spend - but it should be a sweet setup.
|
are DA high flange hubs and cpx's 33 a good marriage ??
|
CXP 23's and 22's come in no eyelet and single eyelet versions. CXP 33's use an internal aluminum eyelet. 33's have a deeper profile than the 22's and 23's which are very similar in profile. 33's are essentially the high profile, aero option to Open Pro.

Hi
I have just laced some DA high flange track hubs to CXP33's. Used 14/15/14 gauge DT spokes (284mm calculated from an online xls) and DT alloy nipples. http://velospace.org/node/3494 You can decide whether it looks like a good marriage. Regards Stuart |
