Yeah, it’s one of the reasons I was looking at them. But the following…
spoke holes are not reinforced and the powder coating has crazed there (probably from oxidation of the rim),
…makes my vain side shudder. I’ve been reading the pros and cons of eyelet versus no eyelet and it seems to be fine without as long as the rim has a fair amount of metal – v-shape rims (a la Aerotracks) being suggested as ideal.
I’m thinking the Open Pro will look better in the long run as they’re anodised as opposed to the powder-coating of the Halo’s.
Edit : Just had a gander at their site and it claims they’re anodised so it’s all go for the Aerotracks. Lighter than the Open Pros, too, apparently (realworld weights).
