Jeff, I rebuilt my rear helium with a mavic open 4. The specs for the Open Pro, and Open 4 (or
Reflex if it's a tubular) are the same as the helium. The only difference is supposedly the helium
rim is lighter. I haven't weighed them but I think the only difference is the color. The hub was the
best part of these wheels... Good luck, Christian
