So I'm thinking about building up a new wheelset since my Mavic K's are starting to wear out. Thinking about an aluminum rim that has a bit of an aero profile....such as the AC 420 rims. I know AC does not sell the rims separately, but does anyone else make a rim with a profice close to the AC420's? If not, rim suggestion?
At 30mm they probably aren't quite as deep as the AC420's but probably as close as you'll get. Bicycle Wheel Warehouse also has a 30mm aluminum clincher that they call "the best 30mm aluminum wheel on the market. I think it's called the Pure Aero.
Soul S3.0 and 4.0 (30 and 40mm) S3.0 are about $380 shipped to the US. I just got a set of the 3.0s. 1540 something grams with tape, 2.3mm bladed spokes.
rruf, I didn't know the XR270 was wider than the XR300. Are they spec'd that way or is that just the way they've been measuring? Do you mind posting the width of them, I don't really know and can't find any info on them online? Thanks

I have never heard any negative comments about their products. It seems to be if you can live without a sticker of a well recognized brand on it you will get a decent set of 30mm rims (or wheels) for a fair price.
