DaveI have two wheel sets with Open Pro Rims that have proven to be both light and strong. Many, many miles on both of them. I now weigh 190 and so use 36 in the rear and 32 in the front. Decades ago, at 170 lbs, I raced on Open Pro rims at 32 & 28 spokes with no problems. They come in black or silver and both look nice. I hear you about black and use to feel that way too, but have found that some parts look fine in black.
While your at it, why not upgrade the hubs too. I moved from the Araya/ 105 combination on my Rambouillet to Open Pro / White Ind two years ago and haven't done anything to them, other than cleaning and checking. Btw, my Araya went pretty much like yours. I hit a curb while trying to avoid a dog. Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
