Well, in 2014 an Aero rim is at least 60 mm deep... anything less is shallow.
The Zipp 303 (45 mm rims) are used for the cobbled classics and the hilly stages of the Tour, go figure

You can improve the aerodynamics at any depth, the old 30mm deep Zipp 101s were better than many poorly designed 60mm deep rims.

It seems like most pro tour stage races are ridden on rims < 50mm in depth this year, with a lot of shallow rims even on flat or low mountain stages.
Are pros losing the faith in aero wheels? Most of the teams running narrow campag wheels are using 25mm tyres... which would make most club level timetrialists shake their heads.
