The r460 rim is pin joined though
No, it's sleeved
The r460 is 18mm internal width and 23mm external
Same spec as the R23, but then the R24 has the same int./ext./height dimensions too, it just has extra hollows in the extrusion to take dowel pins rather than a shape-matched sleeve. The R24 rim doesn't correspond to any separate rim product

The r460 rim is pin joined though. The rr40 rim is welded. The r460 is 18mm internal width and 23mm external and the rr440 is 16mm internal 21mm external width. The rim width should give it away which rim is used. i am not clear anymore about what wheel uses what rim. Rim weight though is not why a modern wheelset feels zippy it is the lateral stiffness i think.
