The venerable Kinlin XR31T 20F/24R built with CX-ray spokes, alloy nipples and bitex hubs will be 31mm deep fairly aero and under 1500g (1460g with a hub set weight of 280g).

I think that ticks your boxes except on width.


At OP's weight <140 lbs, he could probably get away with BDOP's 16/20 XR31 build kit showing a weight of 1445g.

but if the OP goes witht he higher spoke count the wheels will be stiffer and that a good thing. all dropping 8 spokes saves is 40g. I know this is weight weenies but really 40g is nothing. the op will also have wheel he/she can sell to a heavier rider if the OP wants to at a later date.

I can get 31s built on PWB for good price, maybe doing 20/20 spoke count to be on safe side with Bitex and CX Rays would be around 1460
