Rim recommendation

    I am building a new rear wheel to complement/replace my existing Chorus/Open Pro rear wheel.

    I have a Record 32 hold rear hub on the way and would appreciate opinions/recommendations on what rim I should pair this with.

    CRC have both the Open Pro (in silver) for €38 and a DT Swiss RR 415 (Black) at €43 in stock.

    Any other rims I should be looking at?

    I tend not to damage bike gear (light on my bike though heavy in life :) ) and have never had any wheel problems with any of my Open Pro based wheel sets.

    Many thanks in advance,
    Peter

    Get the DT in white, with white aerolite spokes and white 240 hubs, in 28H.

    Now back to reality, I would recommend the open pro on price reasons. Mavic cxp33 is another to consider, as are Ambrosio. Some of the DT rims are decent, but overpriced compared with Mavic.

    I would suggest getting whatever suits your front wheel best. So if you have a sliver Mavic front, get the Open Pro, if you have a black DT front, get that. Is this not obvious? I have used both Open Pros and DT RR1.1 albeit on very different wheels, both decent. I have had an Open Pro fail but that is probably because it is not designed for off-road loaded touring on 700x25c tyres.

    I'm a 'Euro-Luddite' Blorg :eek:

    More into function than the coordinated look.... :)

    (At present my road Open Pro rims are....BLUE...on a silver frame with one yellow and one black tyre....silver Chorus Hubs....so my new Hub is already the wrong colour....)
