Fulcrum Speed 42 - need opinions and a question

[lunardds]

Building up a new frame and want a tweaner flat road/climbing wheelset. Something around 40 deep and would prefer to be 23 internal and hooked. I have a set of BORA WTO 45 on my rim brakes bike that I really like. This bike is going to be DA so the Fulcrum Speed 42 make sense. Any other options I'm missing that would fit the criteria?

The only places I've found that have these at a discounted price have the Xdr freehub. Does anyone know what size the freehub is on these new Fulcrums? Guess I could just measure them up once they get here. I'm guessing they share the Bora internals.

I have a pair of the Fulcrum 42/57 mixed depth wheels and highly recommend them. They are fast as hell.

I have the Speed 40, which was the prior gen. The 40 came with carbon hub shell and db round spokes (which I wanted). You are right in a sense they are tweeners. Great wheels.
