Hello All,

I am ready to embark on a clincher wheelset build for the Bianchi Paris-Roubaix. Does anyone have any comments regarding the reliability of Ambrosio Elite Extra rims?

Are they soft like the infamous Rigida 1320?

or

Are they stout like the Mavic E2 and Super Champion Gentleman?

To which I say:

No, they are brittle, like Ambrosio Elite Extras.

Seriously, just my experience, but I've seen a few cracked ones, and a few is a lot considering that they were never all that common. That is, they were far less common than the E-2s and I never saw a cracked E-2.
