One thing that comes up in the reviews of these Caden wheels is how well they brake. TBH, these would not be wet day wheels for me. I ride the Anderson when the roads are wet or it's likely to rain - disc brakes and fenders!

Caveat that I'm in a learning mode here, but what I'm seeing is that the lightweight alloy rims are a good bit narrower than carbon rims. Are there ones I'm missing? Am I wrong that wider is good, for both aerodynamics and for ride/rolling resistance of a given tire?
Always happy to be corrected, esp. with data! |

Somewhat on topic. Old Potatoe is building my son a set of race clinchers. DT 411 rims and 350 hubs 24/28. He is 5'10" and 155# and does collegiate club racing. They'll be great for the shorter circuit and criterium courses.

I weigh 170 lbs and have had no issues with them, and the ride seems pretty good with 25c Corsa G+ and latex tubes. |

I haven't read through the thread but Rolf Elan are great wheels:
https://rolfprima.com/products/elan-disc The clincher set is 1345 gm. They are hand built here in Eugene. The hubs are WI though they call them TdF 4.4. I had a pair for years and even though I weigh 170 lbs they held up well. The Vigor model is stronger but a bit heavier and are really popular around here.

If you're trying to keep costs under $1000, I can give a strong recommendation for the Industry Nine I25 wheels. These tick all the boxes: mine are 1423g actual weight and they don't need rim strips. 20/24 spokes, 2/1 lacing, with straight-pull spokes. They use the same Sapim CXRay aero spokes as nearly every $2500 carbon wheelset. 19mm inner width, 27mm outer width. Believe me you will notice more than a half-pound of weight and the aero advantage. If you look around you'll find wheels that tick some of the optimal boxes but not all. For example, the nice Fulcrum wheels tick a few boxes but are still old-fashioned narrow rims. They've been bombproof on my Hampsten Ti for many miles. I can't remember the last time I even thought about truing them and I weigh 25 pounds more than you. So...light, aero, reliable and budget-friendly. . |

Get some custom built with Easton R90 SL's. Exceptional rim.
Bonus is you get to tune the build to your requirements, around hub, spokes, lacing etc. |

The Industry Nine i25 wheels are 1423 according to my calibrated scales. Maybe they've changed the design a bit?

The pros closet has it at 1590 w/skewers https://www.theproscloset.com/produc...-700c-wheelset |

I recall that the Industry Nine wheels were pretty close to the advertised weight but I don't remember what that numbers was. If they say they are 1470g now, I'd believe them. Note that they don't need rim strips so take that into account when comparing to others.
