FWIW I enjoy riding my alloy wheelset a lot more than riding my LB wheels. Even though they’re definitely slower on flats and descents.

I am of the opinion that the most fun wheelset on a road bike (especially rim brake) is narrow(ish), shallow and alloy.

If you get a 19-20mm internal width rim, that is enough for a 28mm tire to be run at whatever low pressure you want without much flop. With a 23-25mm rim, you can run practically no pressure and still experience no flop. But why would you do that?
