Rim depth should be determined by 3 things
1 Your weight
the larger you are the deeper rim you can handle

2 The wind patterns where you live
the windier it is in your area the harder a deep rim will be to handle

3 how much climbing you do
The more you climb the more a lighter, and by nature shallow wheel will make sense

Example
I weigh 190
The winds are frequent and high in Boulder Co
I climb a lot

I ride Edge 68 clinchers for training.

If you respond to 1-3 then we will be able to provide you with sound advice.
