This coming season will be my second- kind of dropped cycling for a few months halfway through road season last year, so I only have about 6 or 7 road races/ crits under my belt, but I did win the last 4/5 race I did in the spring before I took a break. Just bought a power meter and definitely plan on structuring my training better. Moving to a new town later this month, so I'm hoping to find a team to train/race with (was on my college's team last year). Training series starts next month which'll be good. /personal blog
Anyways, I have a set of new i9 hubs, and want to build my own wheels using them. I already own a set of older i9 hubs laced to Stan's 340 rims, so as a climbing/training wheel they are great. Obviously some deeper rims would make the most sense so I have the option for races, but what depth should I look for? There are some pretty well reviewed 30mm deep alloy rims that would be much easier on the wallet than carbon, but would that even make a difference vs the 22mm deep 340s I already have?
