Default What rims?

Could those with Powertaps tell me what rims they are using with it. I am after a good training/racing rim, but primarily for training.

I have looked at several different rims but would like some first hand advice for use with the powertap.

Thanks

The addition of the PT makes no diff. Use the same rims you otherwise would, whether it's for training or racing or both.

I used a DT R1.1 rim.

My PowerTap is on a Mavic Open Pro (a standard Graber wheelset system).
Lets hope I get it back from Grabers service department anytime soon

I am usually unhappy with the default build from Graber. I have bought two complete wheels from them. Usually not enough tension.

I train on Mavic Open and race on Velocity Deep rims. Deeps are about the same price for rim and aero, but heavier. I like them and will probably rebuild the Mavic Open if the hub outlasts the rim with either another Deep rim or CXP21/CXP22/CXP23 rim.
