What are the open sport like?
I don't mind if they are a little heavier than open pro's.
I'm a 100kg rider, wheels are 36 spoke F&R.
Thanks in advance |
Open Sport is the budget, single eyelet version of Open Pro. OpenSport replaced the MA-3 which had lots of problems with eyelets pulling out/rims splitting. I have build more than a few of these with no problem. If the build is a good one, proper tension particularly, they should be fine. Best to spend the $ on the hubset anyway and the DA are nice hubs. Rims wear out, hubs when maintained well, rarely do .
