I want to build up a not-too-expensive CX disc tubular wheelset for this fall, and am considering one of three rims from light-bicycle.com based on good success with their rims on my mountain bike. Not looking for a deep-section rim, so I'm staying with the 24-25mm deep rims:
29er MTB tubular
320 grams
27 mm wide
24 mm deep
$162 each
Wider Road Rim
275 grams w/o brake track (290 grams with brake track)
23 mm wide
24 mm deep
$129 each
U-Shaped Road Rim
315 grams w/o brake track (330 grams with brake track)
25 mm wide
25 mm deep
$140 each
I'm likely going to go with 28H front and rear, laced 2X to DT Swiss 350 or Bitex Centerlock hubs.
Which light-bicycle.com tubular rim for CX disc race wheelset?

For CX racing, I would suggest you consider the slightly deeper, 360g RRU35T02 disc brake road rims, but forego the decals as the ones supplied with my 46mm deep rims were not very durable:
While a slight bit more expensive per rim, you might also consider the Nox Composites 27mm deep Zolder tubular rims marketed and assembled in the US.
