Is there any significant difference/advantage in a 28mm wide rim over a 25mm wide rim? I'm going to be running clinchers, no more than 25/27mm wide eg. gp4000
There will be a significant difference in how wide a 25C GP4000 actually ends up when you go from 18mm internal to 21mm internal rim width. Make sure you have clearance for a 30mm wide tyre (between the chainstays is usually the tight spot) if you choose the 28mm wide rims.

I've been looking at wheels from lightbicycle thanks to @amey's post and various other previous experiences up thread. I just have a few questions which I'd appreciate advice on. I'm looking at the Falcon set, either in 25 or 36mm depth. Is there any significant difference/advantage in a 28mm wide rim over a 25mm wide rim? I'm going to be running clinchers, no more than 25/27mm wide eg. gp4000, vittoria corsa etc and only riding road, no gravel etc.
The only hub options that work for Campagnolo are either the DT Swiss 240 or the Bitex RAF10. But there is a £200 difference in picking the DT Swiss hubs. Are they really that much better than the Bitex in terms of quality? Equally are the Sapim CX Ray spokes worth an extra £100 over the standard Pillar spokes?
Bit of a minefield of choices... Any help appreciated. Cheers!
