If I were building my gravel bike today I’d go for shallower and wider. I’ve got the really nice DT-Swiss wheels with a 24mm internal and a deepish profile. They’re great wheels but I’ve been on a couple of windy rides where they did get blown around a bit.

The riding I do isn’t true ‘racing’ anymore though it might include a race or two. I’m not at the pointy end so I’d opine that aero is virtually meaningless for me. If you’re at the competitive end of a real race like Unbound or something along those lines I might think differently.

I’m generally a fan of Boyd wheels and if I were building my bike today I might well get some of his Jocassee wheels. They’re comparatively affordable and have a 26mm internal.
