Does anyone produce a 25mm wide alloy clincher rim, bar the HED Ardennes+? I'm basically looking for the Ardennes+ but cheaper? I'm looking for a winter wheel set.
I'd agree with everyone saying sub-32h is counter intuitive for a winter road set. I'd either go for a pair of the cheap shimano factory wheelsets with higher spoke counts, or go for a 32h set of hand builts.
Ages ago I was hunting for a fairly wide rim that wasn't too heavy, based on the manufacturer's claims the Velocity Dyad was the lightest of the wide touring style rims. Personally I'd go for those with the reflective coating in 32h with Tigra hubs, or if you wanted something a bit lighter I'd go for the wide KinLin / BHS on Novatec 28/32h... Not that those 2 spokes on the front will save a great deal, but 28h should be fine on the front.
But I think the Dyad is actually 25mm whereas the KinLin / BHS is 'only' 23mm.
