Hi. I'm looking for light and stiffness road clincher rims for 20 or 24 holes on front and 28 holes on rear.
I have American Classic hubs (Mico 58 and RD 205 S). Spokes DT Revolution or Sappim CX Ray.
I think about IRD Cadence Road (390 gram/24 holes - front, 28 holes - rear). On roadbikereview isn't any opinion.
Other option: DT RR 1.1, Sun Rimes Assault (?). Mavic open Pro fall off.
Somebody know other aluminium, light and stiffness rims with 20/24 (front) and 28 hols (rear)?
Thanks for help.

EDIT:
That rims are ideal (what model it is?): http://gallery.roadbikereview.com/showphoto.php?photo=1289&password=&sort=1&size=big&cat=2&page=

IRD cadence are available in 20h. I'm still waiting for mine (factory direct - shop is probably faster), and can't offer any opinion. But they are available, and Mike at Oddsandendos should be able to get them. I anticipate - at minimum - a discouraging amount of flex, but I'm sure that will be due as much to a scant 20 spokes as to a rim as skinny as the Cadence.

Please write a review when You get this rims. Thx.

The Alex R400 is available in 20, 24 and 28h drillings and weighs 400 grams.

It sounds like you don't have the hubs... so how did you decide on 20/24 and 28? The correct # of spokes will depend on your weight, the type of rim (light weight and stiffness generally don't go together), and your intended application.

I'm a light guy (65 kgs) and I don't need heavy wheels with 32 spokes.
I choise very light hubs (cheap simultaneous), and good spokes: CT Revolution or stronger Sapim CX Ray.
I don't have money for Tune, ExtraLight hub.

If these are racing wheels I'd lean towards a 30mm rim (like the IRD Aero, or Speedcific) with CX-rays. The rim will be heavier, but it will also be stronger... and the aero benefit is more important than the ~60g of extra rim weight. Besides, you can also use fewer spokes... 4-8 less per wheel compared to one of the <400g rims.

Or, since you are wanting to use AC hubs, you might check out the AC 420 wheels... you can get them with CX-rays also.

Wheel set (factory set (?)) fall off, because service is difficult. American Classic rims are not available in individual sale. AC wheels are cheap, but I wont fold oneself.
I like low profile rims - max 25 mm. Higher are too high.

Same wheelset.

I built a very similar wheelset and this may answer some of you questions here After over a thousand miles on these wheels I still think I made the right choice.

One question yet
Juanmoretime - IRD Cadence rims weight are 390 gr. really?

They were very close. They vary between 380 to 400 grams.
