Good stuff! I wanted a 30mm or so deep rim for strength and aesthetics, do like the look of a deeper rim but not too deep! Going to take on the build myself as well so wanted something that is strong to start with as Im not expecting it to be as good as a pro build doing it for the first time! Living in Oxford at the moment commuting and riding at the weekends which involves hills another reason for a stiffer rim I’m lead to believe.
I’m only about 75kg so hoping spoke snappage is going to be kept to a minimum. What low profile rims do you recommend? Mavic open pros seem to be highly recommended, maybe the cxp33's are areo enough for me thinking about it.
