Recently I have been getting wheels with deeper section rims. For wider 700c tires Velocity Dyads seem to be pretty good. For narrower tires I have wheels with Velocity Deep V rims. For 26” tires I have Velocity Aeroheat rims, which seem to be a 26” version of the Dyads. When I was commuting by bike, the roads I used were very rough. I always used fairly wide tires to help absorb the punishment.
