CXP30 vs CXP33 & Ambrosio Excellence
Pete Biggs
What are the dimensions & weight of the Mavic CXP30 rim and how does it
compare to the CXP33?
Also, any experience/data on the Ambrosio Excellence? I can't find a
close-up picture on the web.
(I can still buy CXP30's before anyone reminds us that Mavic don't make them
anymore).
thanks in very much in advance for any info,

Hi Pete,
CXP30, 30mm rim height, Ø700mm weights 490g (I think).
CXP33, 24,5mm rim height, Ø700mm weights 470g. and Ø650 weights 430g.
Where can you buy CXP30's?
Regards,
Sven

I have a wheel built up with Excellence rims. One of the nicest looking rims
around. I'm happy with it. Getting a new bike built up with the Excellight
rims.

compare to the CXP33? >>
CXP-30-about 40-60 grams heavier than CXP-33-also really need 16mm nipps for
the cxp-30-
ERD of CXP-33 is 597 and CXP-30 is 588(from memory here, not at the shop)-

How aero is the CXP30 really? : I wonder the extra height compensates for
the extra weight [40-60g according to Peter Chisholm]?

How about the Focus rim? How is it regarding strength and aerodynamics
compared to the Mavic CXP30/33?
thanks,

The spokes are shorter (better aero...), so the extra weight is nothing to
think of. Actually, I don't think you feel any difference.
I can only speek well about the 30's. I've been giving them some really nasty
rides on very bad roads and they have never ever been out of true. Maybe the
33's are a little bit softer to ride, the 30's are really stiff.
If you can find 30's, take them. If you can't, take 33's,
Sven.
