There are 2 versions of Altamont. I found it easy to mount tires on. My 25mm Continental 4000S II measure 28mm.
Lites: 435 grams for 25mm deep

http://www.boydcycling.com/2016-altamon ... ront-wheelI wanted something to perform on par with Flo 30 and didn't care about weight penalty. As a matter of fact I wanted a stiffer and stronger wheel and chose more spokes 24/28. Some say it's an overkill for 74kg rider and some will say that extra spokes is the ticket to stronger and stiffer wheel that will stay true.
I don't know how many km I have put on them so far in last 4 months but wheels ride like a dream! Brake track is silver and it's standard 10mm unlike Pacenti SL23, where you have to fiddle with 8mm brake track. Also, I'm a big fan of Kool Stop salmon brake pads, whether it's dry or wet.
I wish they would sells rims like Flo. I would love to build these for velodrome track.
