I'm looking at building up a pair of the 46mm clinchers in disk format for my Felt F3X cross bike that gets used for everything from road rides to gravel rides. It seems like the perfect rim for 28c road tires and 33c cross tires.
Additionally, does anyone have any experience with the hookless bead that they offer? They claim that it will drop 10-15g from the rim weight, be a stronger construction, and be less susceptible to pinch flats. I like the sound of it (I ride my 28c tires at 60-70psi and they say the max is 80psi) but I'm a little nervous having never encountered hookless road rims before.
For reference, I'm a 6'2" 150 pound guy.
No personal experience, but Light Bicycle is one of the better manufacturers - like Nextie, Yishun and Farsports.
With your weight I run 25mm Conti 4000S II on 21C rims at 60psi. This is a great combination. For 28/33mm tires you should pick at least a 24C rim. Do you run disc? Then you could just take a 29er rim.
Hookless is standard with MTBs and worry free - just don't use too much pressure.
