Wider rims for better tyre performance, and KH rather than Salsa Gordo because they are half the price. The Gordo is probably worth the extra (I'd have gone for them if I'd been building a racing bike), but the KH was good enough for my build.
Sorry, I was referring to all those extra holes in the rims.
My guess would be that the rims are much thicker than normal ones... which makes them stronger, but then you cut holes in them to make them lighter again. But hopefully they are still stronger than normal.
