Wide rim training wheels (shallow)

 

Hi, Can anyone recommend some wide rim training wheels with shallow section. I use a pair of Zipp Firestrike 404's which have a 26.4mm brake track width but training wheels that won't catch cross winds. I guess they could be cheap carbon clinchers (if there is such a thing) or alluminum rim? Any recommendations much appreciated!

DT Swiss R460 are only about £25 each from German suppliers or £35 from UK ones (e.g. SJS). You can buy sets built up from Cycle Clinic, Strada or most other wheelbuilders.

Or you could get any of the Kinlin-based sets from Cycle Clinic, Hunt or Superstar.

Depends on your budget.

Currently use Kinlin XR22T. 19mm internal width, fairly readily available and available in an offset rear to improve spoke balance. Around £40.

New Mavic Open Pro looks promising but not used myself yet. Around £60.
