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.

Why not both? U-rim with a 25mm tyre on the front for the low side wind force, V-rim with a 28mm tyre on the back for the low rolling resistance where the load is higher.

But that won't look as cool... Are u shaped genuinely better in cross winds or is that just marketing? If I had to go for one for both, what would you recommend? Mostly flat riding, occasional hills.
