Features You Need
Sizing the rim width to the tires you'll be riding allows for top of the line aerodynamics and better riding conditions. Hooked rim bed means you are not forced to ride a certain tire at a certain pressure. Offset rim bed makes for better balance of spoke tension and a better responding wheelset.
