650B wheels, hooked carbon rim, 22-25mm inner width?
I have a pair of Light Bicycle wheels in my cart. They're 650B, 25mm inner width hooked, 35mm depth, 24 bladed spokes each, disc, with DT240 hubs. With shipping they're just under $1,400, with shipping but no duty. I have two 650B wheelsets from BTLOS that were less expensive but they are hookless, and their web site doesn't show a 650B hooked rim.
So - lightweight 650B carbon disc wheels with DT Swiss 240 hubs - what are other options?

IndustryNine?
I've got the UL250's which are 13xxg's and roll so nicely under 22mph on my Mosaic. They're the aluminum ones but I quite like them and they don't give up anything to shallow carbon rims at that weight. |

Definitely carbon!
I haven't touched the BTLOS wheels I run on the Bingham and with just 24 spokes and 8,500 miles, not all benign, they are still perfect. I just haven't ever gotten this kind of performance from an aluminum wheelset.

I bought a set of these used here in the classifieds that had been built with Industry 9 hubs for my wife's bike. I tried them once and loved them so much I had them build me a set with DT240's. I don't know what they would charge to build them with the DT's today but ask as they are really really easy folks to work with. Can't recommend them highly enough.

I contacted BTLOS and indeed they can offer hooked rims even though they don't show them on their web site in 650B. I have really learned that I have to ask them what I want, they don't keep the web site updated in some areas.

Closing the loop - I ordered a set of wheels from BTLOS with their Premium rims, DT Swiss 240 hubs, Sapim CX Ray spokes. They have a Free Shipping and $80 off sale going on, so the final cost shipped Fedex is $999. Fedex shipping is $339, so this seems like a very good deal!
