Ambrosio Excellight Road Rims
Has anyone had experience with these specific Rims, the Ambrosio
Excellight? They appear to be very similiar to Open Pros. Is there any advantage to the Ambrosios over the Open Pros, which seem to be the industry standard for these type of tims. |

Well, looking at Ambrosio's website, it seems to be very similar to a Mavic OP. Both weigh about the same (430g for the Excellight SSC versus 425g for the OP), double eyelets, anodized with machined sidewalls and retail for about $60 each. The only negative I have about Mavic OP rims are they sometimes develop an annoying clicking noise. Sometimes lubing the eyelets makes the noise go away. Sometimes its in the joint and then nothing stops the noise. Alternatively, take a look at either the Velocity Aerohead rim (405g) or the IRD Cadence rims (390g). Both come in regular and offset rear rims. Good Luck! |

My 'feel good' wheels are built with these rims together with Tune hubs and Sapim X-ray spokes. These are very nice rims. Can't compare them with Mavic Open Pro's because after encountered some Mavic quality issues I don't use Mavic rims any more. Lou |

I had a set of them as part of a "Sonar" wheelzinnabox set. Surprisingly, they held up fine under my weight (230-250), even at 28h. I wound up selling the wheels to Recycled Cycles, but that was because of the lousy hubs, not the rims. I never had to touch them with a spoke wrench. |
