How to choose carbon wheels depth?


Now,more and more depth size arrived,20mm/24mm/30mm/35mm/38mm/40mm/45mm/50mm/55mm/58mm/60mm/80mm/88mm depth carbon wheels,how do I choose rim depth,sometimes it's a very hard to decide.

20mm - 50mm Deepth carbon wheels:: Typically race wheels in this category have a greater emphasis on weight than aerodynamics. Watch the mountain stages the next time the Tour de France is on and you'll notice that most riders are using very shallow wheels. Although historically these wheels have given aerodynamic performance, the newest shapes on the market are showing some very impressive drag numbers.

50mm - 70mm Depth carbon wheels: Wheels in this depth range often offer an excellent mix of being aerodynamic and light weight. They are commonly used by road cyclist and triathletes alike. The newest designs are more aerodynamic than their deeper ancestors. 

70mm - 100mm Depth carbon wheels: Wheels in this depth range often offer an excellent mix of being aerodynamic and light weight. They are commonly used by road cyclist and triathletes alike. The newest designs are more aerodynamic than their deeper ancestors. 

70mm - 100mm Depth carbon wheels: For a while the craze was the deeper the better. I remember one wheel from the company Blackwell that was 200mm deep (image below). The newest rim shapes on the market are trending towards shorter and wider. Some companies have even discontinued their deepest wheels because they are inferior to the newer and wider shapes. That said, there are still some great offerings in this category that are very aerodynamic, and they make great rear wheels since they actually help stabilize you in strong winds (the complete opposite of a front wheel).
