looking to acquire some disc brake compatible aero wheels but options seem to be limited. does anyone have experience of such wheels? ideally looking at around 50 - 55mm depth. i want mavics, but they don't seem to make them.

Handbuilts smile

What's your budget? Tubs or clinchers?

I suspect as it's relatively new tech for road wheels you'll have to get a set built.

H Plus Son make a 42mm aero rim which is pretty widely available, I think its the same/simliar to the IRD cadence 42mm rim, they come in 24/28/32/36 hole drillings. Whether you can get a disc brake compatible hub in the right width yet is another matter... try the Hope Pro 2/3?

Think you'll struggle at that depth as there aren't any TT frames running discs. Most of the aero disc rims are in the 40mm - 45mm range.

Closest you'll get are probably the Reynolds Assault SLG Discs or Enve SES 3.4 Disc or as others have said custom handbuilts.

There are a number of ebay sellers who are supplying 50mm and 38mm disc mount clinchers. Expect to pay around £350 all in including shipping.

I just ordered some 38mm ones, they arrived safely a few days ago but I haven't had a chance to really try them out yet. They seem nicely put together though.
