I'm sure Jones can spill a bit more info about it. A lot of the SB kids seem to have his wheels...

This is good!
I've always loved the Open Pro rims.
Time to look into hubs for new wheels soon!

My wife has a set of Mavics with that coating. The braking is excellent although a bit noisey. They grind through Kool stop pads and the Mavic pads are expensive.

Updating an ancient rim to still-outdated standards?

What am I missing here?

I hope they also have some plans to DROP the price of exalaith brake pads, which are currently $100 for a set of four pads (one bike) at competitive cyclist and bike tires direct, to name a few

I like the option. Might be an old model, but i they were a favorite around here for a loooong time. Remember when joe young lacing up open pros was the fad??

My 32h hubs are in need of some new rims.

Buuuut.. 100 for new pads seems absurd.

Anyone know if they plan on doing the Tubular version in Exalith as well?

I'm sold. Old rim but still good. I have the standard open pro and the ceramic version on a few bikes, and the exalith treatment is very welcome.

The Mavic pads last a very long time once the rim has "worn in", so you may come out ahead in the end.
