Mavic Open Sport rims

Are the Open Sport rims better than the MA-3?
I have MA-2 rims on my light touring bike, but they
are not going to last forever, looking for a replacement.
Have not wanted to use the MA-3 rims based on so
many bad opinions on them.

Thanks.

Aren't the MA-?s discontinued? They are not on Mavic's web page.

Which is why the Open Sport is now offered. It's a replacement for the
MA-3.

I have seen the MA-?s on one of the mail order shops web page and
assumed they were closeout type items. I've got about 300 miles on a
set of Open Sports and have liked them all right.

OpenSport is the improved version of the MA-3...we got bit by the
MA-3...so far, so good with about a dozen OpenSports built...

If you could boil it down to a short comment without taking too awful
much time, could you contrast the Open Pro, Open Sport, CXP-33 and CXP-22?

Dear Cat,

To compare the specs, login in as mavic-com with password dealer.

Open Pro and CXP-33:

CXP-22, S and N models:

And the helpful guide to what Mavic's annoying little symbols mean:

There may be a klunkier site, but it's hard to imagine.

Cheers,

Bad Gateway

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server at www.tech-mavic.com Port 80

They probably want Java Script enabled.

Is the opensport box section, fully socketed, silver finish, 36 hole?

why do you want "silver finish"? are you hunting the "anodizing fud" snark?

Dear Michael,

Dunno about javascript, but now I can't get in, either, to anything in
www.tech-mavic.com.

Possibly my unkind comment . . .

"There may be a klunkier site, but it's hard to imagine."

.. . . has caused the site to shut down out of sheer embarrassment? It
was running this morning.

However, www.mavic.com is still up and running and well-nigh useless
in comparison.

Cheers,

Carl Fogel

Dear Michael,

The site is back up now, and just as klunky as ever.

OpenPro-double eyelet, about 440 grams or so, black or silver-$60-$70
OpenSport-single eyelet, silver or black, about 500 grams-$35-$45
CXP-33-triangle shaped, inserts instead of true eyelets, about 450
grams, silver and black-$65-$70
CXP-22-black only, 32 hole only, single eyelet, $45-not sure of 2006
model as we haven't built any.
