Yep, discs.
Veering into 'f!@k it' territory and looking at these: https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Vel/50-RL-Carbon-Tubeless-Disc-Wheelset/QS28
And will pair with 28mm GP5000's tubeless.
Am I going to regret not going for the RSL with DT Swiss hub?
Should add I can get them for £460

Get the 50mm wheels. They do a nice whoosh and look fast.

Sigma are legit and they look totally fine. The 3 yr warranty and crash replacement is actually pretty huge! ... probably justifies the premium over ordering from LightBicycle or similar.
£460
umm, if I wasn’t running a dynamo on my beikwithdiscs I’d get you to add a pair for me :)
-
Get these, great value.

Aero wheels are faster. But 38mm isn’t very aero unless you’re running a very narrow tyre. 45-65mm with a 25/28mm tyre is pretty usable/light.
It’s essential. Cycling is not possible otherwise. How else will you chase to draft HGVs? :-/
Bath has some very steep descents with abrupt stops/junctions/traffic. Are you on discs? Braking in carbon rims in the wet is not great. I wouldn’t want to do that through winter personally.
