XMCS has the CS-RRW-50-28 or CS-RRW-38-28 as standard option on their homepage, note these are with carbon spokes

Thanks for the recommandation! I'll definitely have a look at these

1) please write your own posts.

2) rim brakes are basically custom order these days, contact Zen or Serenade.

What do you mean, "write your own posts"?
Thanks for the recommandations, I already own a set of Serenade disc brakes wheels and wasn't aware they are offering rim brakes wheels

Hi there,

I'm building a lightweight rim brake bike, and I'm having a hard time finding good options for lightweight carbon wheels with good reviews.

I'm looking for a wheelset with a rim depth of at least 50 mm, steel spokes, and a low weight—ideally under 1,300 grams. I've seen the Superteam model, but I'm looking for more options with documented reviews.

If you have any recommendations to share—within a reasonable budget—I'd love to hear them! Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I'm still hesitating to take the plunge and order a set of wave wheels with Sapim spokes. For those of you who have purchased this exact wheelset, what's your long-term feedback?
