I'm running Mavic 721s on both my bikes front and rear. I'm just bummed that they stopped making the CD (hard-ano) version. Sounds stupid but I swear they were stronger.

Oh and Alex Supra Ds are absolutely worth checking out - at 620g they're heavier than the 721s but not by a whole lot and they don't flat spot as easily.

Only weakness with the 721s is the braking edge which seems prone to folding.

I agree, the older 721's seemed to last a lot longer but the last 2 I bought which were silver died a quick death.

The Alex supra D is a much better rim than the current 721 imo, claimed weight is lighter too. A lot of guys are starting to switch to these down here now.

Do you know where you can get the Supra D? I think there might be more than one aussie distributor, but the one I got onto only brings the BH (pinned join) model in, not the D model (welded join, also lighter).

In Sydney Endeavor cycles at Gymea and Bike Addiction at Manly can get them.
