Could anybody recommend me a front wheel rim for cx.
32Hole hub.
Something to fit 30mm tyre. Not too heavy and not too expensive.
Intended for race use only. so rim brake.

I was looking at the Mavic Open pro rims .. they recommend only 28mm tyres .. would they be too narrow for the extra 2mm??

Thanks in advance.

Mavic Open Pro is pretty much the default choice, you'll be fine with a CX tyre on there

I thought discs were allowed at CX races now?

Yes - disks allowed in cx racing. I just not like the look of them or feel the need for them if only using bike for racing.

Build is - pro3 on mavic open pro ..
