Is kinda pointless right? Since you're big and will be moving at speed, on flat circuits surely you should be going aero. And not archetypes on this.

Yeah, this might be true. But less mass in wheels is quicker in the sprint no? So a middle-of-the-road wheelset.

And I think this needs some 32mm carbon clinchers. Not as lairy as @Dammit wants it I reckon but still..

Nah, the weight savings are minimal from a 30 to a 50mm carbon rim. But you'll get a stiffer, stronger, more aero wheel. The only times I wish for less than 50 are descending exposed roads with strong winds, but you won't get that in a crit.
Most importantly, they look better and do a nice hum sound.

I'm looking at a couple of wheel options.

https://www.lightbicycle.com/700C-V-shape-36mm-depth-hand-built-carbon-road-wheels---28mm-wide-and-tubeless-compatible.html

https://www.wheelsfar.com/38mm-x-25mm-tubeless-wheels-with-dt240-sapim-cx-ray-spoke.html

But I wonder if 28mm wide rims would work between the chainstays. Any input on that @adroit?

And the max recommended weight on the Farsport one's are 40kg lower than lightbicycle. Why's that?

And why I opt for 38mm is just because I don't really fancy the look on 50mm ones.
I think they're too deep and just looks too bulky.
