What it did do was make them more crack prone. ![]() Mavic claimed it made the rims stronger, stiffer and more wear resistant. ![]() Note: this is not he later ceramic coating. You will occasionally need to true a bit, but they are easy to tune.The Open 4CD rims were, AFAIK, Mavics first use of "hard anodizing", which is what the "CD" meant, which is thicker than the very thin color anodizing typically used. There are better rims out there now (stronger and lighter) but the open 4s were a decent set in their day. The difference in price of the two sets on the used market is probably no more than ten bucks so it is not like you are really going to cash in on selling the better wheelset. I'd put them on as my best riding wheels and sell of the others or keep as spares. I rode thousands of loaded touring miles on open 4 CDs with no trouble at all.
