I have the first of those two, I think. Ride them with 25mm gp4000s. They can get lively on windy days but I don't think there's a magic bullet for that problem. Make a nice hum while you ride along, you feel fast even if you're crawling!

I've got the 30/56 rims on my ultracycling bike, and never had any issues with crosswinds. I've not ridden the LB25/55 rims, but the shape is very similar to the Zipp 404 Firecrest shape, and I have found those a bit twitchy in high winds. I've been really impressed by the LB 30/56 rims so I'd probably go for them. I wouldn't use them with 25s though - I think they'd be too wide for 25s. I use them with 30mm G-One Speeds, and even with 30mm tyres the tyre is only just wider than the rim. Should be OK with 28s though.

Lightbicycle are doing $1 shipping this month, FYI. I got an automatic email because I had stuff in my cart (so it may just be a regular offer).
In theory, which of these rims is going to be faster with 25/28 tyres and easier to handle on crosswinds?
