Exal rim quality

[BiketoBasics]

I'm considering buying a few of the EXAL Sp19 rims for rear wheel use and would like to ask those with experience with them (or EXAL generall) to provide some feedback as to their quality.

I have a couple of sets of the ceramic version of SP 19. Absolutely bombproof. No issues, and still going strong after more than 10 years of fairly heavy use (including touring). Pretty impressive for a budget rim really.

I have the LX17 26" 36 hole version laced to non-disc deore hubs on mountain bike and they have been, so far, bomb proof. Though I haven't done thousands of miles on them.

Can't comment on their road rims, but SpaCycles is a reliable source with an experienced wheelbuilder and they use them.
