I picked up an older Corima carbon rear wheel, and the guy gave me the matching front hub in 18 hole.
Rather than try track down a matching rim, i was considering building it up with a Light-bicycle 23mm wide, 24mm deep carbon rim.
So, my question is, will it work and look ok, and at my weight of 81kg, is a 18h front wheel going to hold up?
Rear wheel is 48mm deep and i would prefer a shallower front wheel.
Corima 18h hub build help

corima rims are easy to find. they sell direct on website.
This wheel is about from 2005, so wanting something cheap to match it in looks. Going to order a 23mm wide 38mm deep tub from Light-bicycle. May or may not get some stickers to match. Its going on a steel Colnago from the 90's. I already have a Lightweight Gen 3, but its a front wheel only, so will look a bit too mis-matched with the silver spokes on the Corima. I only paid $100aud for the Corima wheel & hub. I'm a budget weenie.
