Latest gravel bike wheels seems to be "semi aero" which i really don't believe when it comes to gravel.
I run tire 47-52mm, so i simply don't believe the aero effect is applicable
So i'm looking for suggestions on light weight shallow 650B carbon rims.
Internal width 23 - 24mm.
Suggestions appreciated.
My DT Swiss XR 361 rims is 390g so i would rather look for something lighter than these

I don't jump light weight alu rims again. My Ryde Trace 22 rims i manage to get uneven in 2 weeks.
They're about 320-330 g per rim

Light Bicycle make a few:
24mm internal width, hookless, 385g: https://www.lightbicycle.com/carbon-mou ... 5-rim.html
24mm internal width, hookless, 370g: https://www.lightbicycle.com/AM724-asym ... -rims.html
They also make this one with hooks, 380g, 22.5mm internal width, but it's 36mm deep, so not shallow: https://www.lightbicycle.com/Disc-650B- ... bikes.html

I'd suggest the 24mmInner/24mmDepth/30mmOuter option. 300gm rim.
Somewhat cheaper than LightBicycle.
My wheelbuilder was impressed with the rim quality.

1452 USD. Then i have 62.5% tariff (psycho, but it's the truth) + 25% tax on top of this.
China or Asia imports = pure kill blow overhere.
Which makes a Nox Composite Skyline 275wheelset cheaper if bought and built in EU.

Pricey, but ticks all the boxes, including asymmetric drilling:

We've been happy with the NOX Composites Skyline 275. Hookless, internal 23mm, low profile and 335g. We've ridden/raced these rims through all kinds of conditons, roads/trails, without missing a beat. Not flashy, but functional.
