Which rims: Mavic CXP 22's or Rigida DP18's?

... I assume that the new ones
(http://www.parker-international.co.uk/11147/Rigida-DP18-700c-Rim.html)

are in fact a modern version of some older rim?

ja, that ^
they come with a well machined sidewall, but i had the chance to get the dp18 in all black anodised and found that a fair bit cheaper than a set of non machined deepV's. (plus the option to later (re)use this set with brakes if bike, prefs or whot ever changes, appealed to me)

i can't see something wrong with mavic's either, at the end, it's gonna be a round wheel and it get's you rollin' :P

ambrosio, don't know notink about.
