Yeah, I am a mountain biker running 40 mm internal width rims so I have some experience with wide rims. I don't particularly want anything less than 24 mm on my gravel bike but I am still researching. I have a lot going on in life right now to deal with so I'm not being my usually decisive and impulsive self, but am taking my time to figure everything out.

I speak from experience as I have Bontrager 3V wheels on my Trek Domane and the rims have a 25mm internal width. I didn't think I'd like the wheels but after a few months of riding on them on asphalt and gravel with tubeless tires, I won't go back to narrow rims.
