Thanks. Agree on shallower for descents, no more than 40 is ideally where I want to be. Had a look at the Reserve website, some good options there, I've only seen them shipped with the Aspero, good to know aboutStevieB wrote: ↑Sun Jul 31, 2022 7:52 pmI run Light Bicycle WR50's built on DT240's with CX-Rays for road wheels on my Aspero. 32.5mm outer width, 25mm inner (hooked), 50mm deep. In the flyweight version they came in at 1,352 grams on my scale ( I requested they cherry-pick lighter rims from stock). 28mm GP5000 TL's are 31mm wide on them, so dead on for 105%. Only gripe is they can be a bit of a handful (for me) on a blustery descent; if I were doing it over I'd go a bit shallower up front, maybe 40/45mm.Stueys wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 7:44 pmLooking for a set of climbing wheels (somewhere betweem 30-40 mm deep) that I can also use as a road wheel set on my gravel bike (Aspero). So far the Rovale Alpinist looks like a good bet but I'd ideally like to run 28mm tyres and I know that the 21mm internal width will make a Conti 5k end up at 30mm wide. Which then takes means I'm outside the 105 rule. Think I'm after something with a 30, ideally 31mm external width.
Any options out there? The only one I've found so far is the Aeolus RSL 37V, but they seem pretty hard to get hold of. I'd prefer to stay hooked.
You might also check out the new Reserve 40/44's; they might be just what you're looking for. Differential depths and profiles for front/rear, as with the Parcours and others; a good idea.

Even though I have ENVE 2.3 (Knowing you want to stay away from hookless) I also really like princeton carbon works GRIT (4540). 21 hooked internal, no rim tape needed, and with their tactic hubs they come in at 1320 grams. Stiff, fast, and stable as a climber. I actually thinkig about getting ride of the 2.3's...even though they are 100 grams lighter they are very shallow and a bit boring on rollers and flat (as expected). The GRIT's are best of both worlds..
