Re: How good is a good deal on Reynolds 72? [grumpier.mike]
huh??? I think you are thinking of the wrong wheel. I have an aero 72 and use a 25mm tire on it and the aero 90. From slowtwitch, they tested it with a 25mm tire, https://www.slowtwitch.com/..._58_and_72_3957.html
The 700x25mm tires measured right at 26.0mm (at 100 psi) – just slightly narrower than the 26.3mm rim:

To the OP this is a great , fast rim, I bought the 2016 model, it states 16mm width internal, 26.2 external, which easily fits 25mm tires. This one:

Much better wheel than a HED Jet 6, not sure why a wheel just 2 years old would be as cheap as this other guy thinks.

Well you face the typical "bottom feeders dilemma" of what features you have to give up in order to save some money (story of my life). That is a nice wheel but 15.5 mm is really narrow. I haven't seen anyone test this wheel with multiple tires, but it is a safe bet that it is going to only work well with a really narrow tire. Make sure you stock up on some Conti SS 20s because there is no guarantee these will be available for too much longer (I have 3 in the basement) That is about the only low Crr narrow tire left on the market.


Now given that you can score a set of HED Jet 6+ for 800$, you have to ask yourself if the savings are worth it. That wheel would have to be really cheap (150-200$ and basically new) before I would bite.
