wider rims are particularly suited to road, and rough stuff; there are better options for racing indoor, but for all-purpose wheels, outdoor wheels, racing on concrete, or just warmup/training wheels, they're a good wheel.
Awesome, thank you.

None of that is really useful for a track bike unless it's also your tarck bike. Also, for the 8-900 they want for them you could pay msrp to have a shop build you a bit lighter and a bit narrower for 19-23c.
Shrug.
I know it's getting off topic but what other rims are out there? I'm relatively new to track stuff and plan to commute and race track this season. I've been racing road for a couple of years now and the pricing/reviews are much easier to find for those (a la competitivecyclist and the like)..
