I've serviced my tiagra on open pro's and one of the cups is damaged. I'd say in machining as it appears the tool has caught. Some of the bearings are poor.
I'm looking at an upgrade thb. I commute but leisure riding is always involves climbing.

I run Open Pros on my fixed, in fact I built the front wheel myself, lovely responsive wheels.

Glad you started this thread or I might not have found my new wheelset for the single-speed



£80 including a sprocket and freewheel, bargain

Sound good.
The spokes aren't DT Swiss or Sapim but you shouldn't have any problems with that.
The hubs are excellent.
The rims are also very good.

A good buy.
