Since it didn't matter much either way, I decided to go with the XR-200 just because it would be fun to tell people I had a set of 1375g clinchers. I also figured if I were to go aero, I would go all out and at least 50mm deep. The clincher (pun intended) was that I'm so slow, aero doesn't help me much anyway. The only thing I tossed out is that deeper rims tend to be stronger.

There's your food for thought.
