Narrowed it down to two open mold rims.
350g, 50mm deep, 20.5mm wide, basalt braking surface, internal nipples.
420g, 56mm deep, 27.5mm wide (21.5mm tyre mount width), basalt braking surface, external nipples.
I like internal nipples, as in theory you can use higher spoke tension. I also like light things. Plus they are $65 cheaper for the pair. But I'm drawn to the new wide U shape. Which should build a stiffer wheel.
hmmmmmm.
