That Mavic article still sticks to the old ETRTO recommandations but meanwhile they are also selling 19C wheels with 25mm tires, which would not be approved: https://shop.mavic.com/de-de/comete-pro ... #1028=3283 21C will only be a matter of time...
It just doesn't have disadvantages, except for higher weight aluminium rims (as not everybody wants to run carbon clinchers).
I use TRP 970 SL brakes (out of stock) as they open wide enough for 28mm wide rims.
