Mavic OpenPro clicking noise
" wrote in message oups.com... wrote: My experience is that the next wet ride washes the lubricant away and the clicking returns. That's exactly what happens on my problem-child-OpenPro. It will even start clicking after riding through the fog in an early morning ride. Do like I did and put those wheels on a Cannondale. All of the clicks just blend together -- like riding through a field of crickets. -- Jay Beattie. |

Aero, Aerohead,Razor, Escape, Fusion, Deep V, Synergy, Dyad...I have built with them all with great results. Now RBR may be talking about their wheel, which are no better than any out of a box. The Velocity site is short on details. Their "razor" looks like the kind of rim that suits me with box construction and silver finish. Does the razor have double eyelets? What is the precise nature of the finish? (for me, none is best). What is the width? (23-28 mm tires). Thanks. I like my Torelli Masters, but they are not made anymore. Ambrosios are not available in the USA. -- Michael Press |

Any tire that the frame can handle. Thanks. I like my Torelli Masters, but they are not made anymore. Ambrosios are not available in the USA. -- Michael Press |

It would be nice to have the inner flange width though. I did contact them in the past and found out that - Deep V 13.2 mm - Aerohead 14.0 mm - Aero 13.35 mm For comparison old MA2s have 13.5 inside dimension, and Open Pro has 14.5! This surprised me, and indicates that an Open Pro can take a bigger tire best. Wayne |
