  • forgot to reply toa post above, I had issues with tyre clearance with a Benotto, 23mm on a 19mm rim would rub against the fork crown, with the 23mm rim it lowered the wheel height. I also filled an arc underneath just for a little room.

    the h+son archetype seems to be a better choice now than A23

    these are newer and apparently from Kinlin
    23mm wide 28mm high

    some of the Chinese carbon manufacturers have come out with 23mm wide 50mm high clinchers

    DT Swiss have a new light box section rim thats 21mm x 21mm

    a cheaper alternative to TB14 rim is the Sun CR18, I used them for a few races before switching to cxp33. wider is nice for comfort but I think I prefer a narrower contact patch for nimbleness, it just feels better somehow. maybe because I use the same tyre profile on the road too so Im used to that handling
