Hey guys.

Looking for a pair of new wheels.

So what is the fastest 60mm ish wheels at the moment? Looking to put 28mm tires on them.

Is it dt swiss, shimano c60, zipp, swissside, princeton, bontrager rsl, enve or another?

Very happy with my PC 6560 stradas with DT swiss 180 hubs. I am coming off Zipp 404 firecrests and would not go back.

Hello.
Campagnolo Bora Ultra wto 60mm
Not with 28mm tires. The rim profile is clearly optimized for 23-25mm tires.

Though, I like Cannondale Knot64 myself, I know it design for 25mm as well. It's 32mm wide, but it curve in near the rim edge to mate with 25mm tire profile.
So I won't recommend my favourite deep wheel (Cannondale Knot64) for 28mm tire.

I'd vote Parcour Chrono or Ascent Polaris just because you plan to use 28mm tire.

WTO 60 actually weren't tested fastest. If I remember right they were one of the slowest wheels in test.

I will probably spend most of this season on Ascent Polaris 69mm. My set with DT 180s and HG freehub body weighs 1549g w/o valves or tape. Add 20-25g for straight-pull DT 240s.

How do they compare to your Enve wheels? Are those just old and narrow at this point?

After doing Pesky on "25mm" Michelin Power Cups measuring 30.5mm, I decided 25mm tires were kind of pointless. I'll take the very minor CdA penalty from running fatter tires for the increased comfort and decreased likelihood of pinching on the edge of a pothole. Plus the odd daring/dumb attack on a descent.

In terms of crosswind stability, I rode the 69s during Tuesday's wind/rainstorm and didn't feel a thing.

All the mentioned ones (Rapide CLX, Bontrager 62, DT62) are pretty great.
