Open sport vs CXp22 with system ex - London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

tobyprice · 27th August 2008

I've decided i'd rather go with local bike shop than order from london. They've quoted me

£145 for wheel set with Systen ex hubs and Mavic Open Sport

Or

£153 for System ex with cxp22's

Thats built up with some tubes and tyres for £10 extra.

Which would people recommend?

To go on this conversion ---

the lower profile of the pros might help with a more classic look

open sport are slightly different tho right?

stevo_com · 27th August 2008

sorry, misread, only in quality really, not much difference in profile. I have an open sport on my front wheel, been fine so far.

cpx22 are boombproof

I'm curious - has anyone ever tried bombing their wheels? In the event of a nuclear apocalypse, is crouching next to your bike the safest thing to do?

i have CXP22s but cannot vouch for their bomb-resistance.

miro_o · 27th August 2008

i have CXP22s. Bomb often.

tobyprice · 27th August 2008

I'm not sure i can take the plunge before hearing direct evidence of their bomb resistance. some kind of before and after photos would suffice.

Is £155 a good deal for that setup? or should I try haggling down?

miro_o · 27th August 2008

for that coin i'd go for these:

oh... i didn't think... are they dishing the wheel to get the chain-line?

Those Miche/OpenPros are built to a 42mm chainline and 120mm spacing.

+1, +2,+3

much more better option for sure, only one problem.

the man behind out spoken is in safari in Africa and they are no taken more orders until he came back, any way given then a call and find out

Well I can get the same rims, so it's a Miche vs System ex really... from what i've seen they're pretty similar. I've spoken with the outspoken guy and he'll let me order tomorrow. So I could go with them, but i'd like to use my local bike shop, but might beat them down on price a little. Would pro vs CXP22's come out in favour of pro's and if so what price built up should I go for?

miro_o · 27th August 2008

Open Pros are very good, and better than CXP22s. Miche hubs are... probably a bit better than System X.

The people of Outspoken are really helpful.

Yes, I think we're good to go, i'll see if he'll knock it down a little or throw in tubes and tyres... should be good! can't wait to get riding. Need some forks first, and a sadle, sproket, seat, seatpost, pedles, brakes, but not far off.
