Depends how windy it gets where you live I guess. I ended up selling some disc wheels I had that were 55mm deep as it felt like half the time I rode I was fighting them for part of the ride. That said, it's been so windy here the last couple of weekends that I've had the same problem on 32mm rims so... nothing useful to add I guess :)

Even for a heavy guy the difference riding TABR with deep front wheel compared to a shallow front wheel the year after was noticeable and I'd never go back to deep wheels for long stuff. On a short ride, it's fine, you hang on, whatever. On a long ride when every little annoyance is multiplied by 100x then fighting the bike so that it doesn't hit rumble strips or blow you into the lane is fucking hard work and caused many, many stress molecules to build up and exit my body in the form of very angry naughty words.

Thanks. I ride a 60 rear and 50 front (u shaped) without too much difficulty, I'm just curious which of these shapes is going to be best for all round riding. I.e. wider tyre profile but narrower rim edge Vs u shaped.

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!
