Paul Ruinaard Posted October 9, 2013 Share Ha Ha makes me think about old Deep section ally rims. I had a set of Mavic CXP 30's on my roadbike as my first custom wheel set. They were like flywheels -once you got them spinning. In side winds they were horrendous. But strong as all hell. I used to train with them eventually. Had them for years. They made you moer strong, then switch to lightweight climb wheels for races and it was like I had wings on the hills. Now you have a wheel that is light, strong and aero all in one. At a price of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny Carp Posted October 9, 2013 Share I've been riding a set of DH wheels since April through some of the worse weather that Cape Town has seen in decades. (Approx 7000 km) Light and stiff is how I might describe them, but a better description would be; outstanding value for money. Still as true as the day they were delivered, the Sapim spokes are tough as nails and the bitex hubs still roll like butter.(Despite a few sphincter-puckering moments when meeting a pot-hole that wasn't there yesterday!) The 50mm profile does make for some interesting crosswind handling, but nothing as hectic as the Light Weights that I rode which sometimes felt as though the Cape Doctor himself (or herself?) was trying to tear me off the bike. In hindsight, I might have opted for a 30mm rim profile for those super gusty days when the wind appears to be blowingfrom every direction, except the rear. I bought the product as a training wheel set, but quite frankly, can no longer find a reason to ride or race anything else, so they've become my 'do everything' clincher wheel set. NB: I don't work for the guys nor have any reason to endorse their product. But, I've tried to find fault with the wheels in order to justify an 'upgrade' but quite frankly, I can't. This is R 8 K very well spent. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchelicious Posted October 9, 2013 Share Get the Mavics, I got them a few months back and am very happy with the wheels. Got them second hand too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnavel Posted October 9, 2013 Share Those 50mm clinchers from DH, do they still flex a lot? I rode a set about a year ago as a demo and found they had quite a lot of flex when placed under power... Has this been rectified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
