I'm bulding a wheelset for a friend who bought his first disc bike. It's for road and he is 75 kg (165 lbs). He has decided on something around 50 mm deep and 25 mm wide and with DT240 hubs. He doesn't want them too wide. They are for fast rides and racing.
1) how many spokes for a wheelset like that? 24/24? Or could we go lower?
I've considered EIE carbon rims like these

2) Would they be a good choice for clincher and tubeless?
3) Anything else I need to consider?
