I have read almost all (but not quite) of this entire thread from start to finish. I'm looking at LB for my first set of carbon wheels and would appreciate recomendations on configuration. I have a CAAD12/non-disc and ride in So Cal with a combination of steep climbs and flat roads with occassional headwinds. So I need an all around wheel. Tires will be 25c or 28c clincher or tubeless. I'm a light rider (142 pounds/64 Kg).

My decision points:

1. Rim Width - 25mm or 28mm? LB recommended 25mm, but folks here seem to prefer 28mm.
2. Depth - probably 36mm or 46mm. How to decide?
3. Hubs - DT Swiss 240S or Industry Nine? I hear a lot of good things about both.

One overall consideration is that I'd like a wheel/tire setup that feels a little more stable in downhill, no-wind conditions. My current setup with 28c tires on narrow, aluminum wheels (15mm inside) feels a little twitchy at speeds >25mph.

Thanks, guys.
