i have 2 sets of OP currently and have had a guesstimate of 4 or 5 more sets. Neither have had any faults or noise that i can recall. (tho i have heard about the noise complaint before).

These look soooo sweet. I've been wanting a wide alu set of all black rims for ages. The HED black ardennes are ridiculously overpriced.

Did everyone just loose their minds? There are so many great rims that check all the boxes that these rims do and more. Rims that eat normal pads or need expensive propriatary pads and are loud while braking...hmmm There must be a deep emotional attachment to the past that has everyone ready to drink the new flavoured Kool-aid.

Mavic Open Pro Exalith 2017
Quote:
There are no other off the shelf rim only aluminum options where the brake track will stay dark coloured after extended use. The anodizing or paint on other rims will always wear off after a couple rides. Exalith doesn't last forever, but looks sweet for a long time usually. I know I'm not the only vain sucker that thinks all black wheels look sweet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by geordanh; 03-12-2017 at 11:09 AM. |

Then what? Are people going to start unloading wheels when the coating wears off? The wheels will only be beginning to wear out like a standard rim meaning they will have 10-20k miles of more life in them.

Just give me a wider version of the current open pro's. Toss the silly proprietary pads. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk |

Exalith isn't just to make black rims. The braking is superior to standard aluminum braking, which is, in turn, superior to carbon rim braking. They also happen to be black, which looks nice.

I think they are also releasing a machined track version guys.
