Hey guys I am on the verge of buying some carbon wheels with two options of 40 or 60mm of dish. I am a racing cyclist so that means crits, road races, stuff like that. what are you opinions on the depth for performance purposes
Thanks

You don't mean dish. You mean rim height or rim depth. You want 40mm. 60mm would be a bit too sensitive to wind, IMO.

I would agree. Be careful with the front wheel especially, the back is not as critical . I run a stand wheel on the front if it get to windy (gusty is the worst):eek:

Yet, IMHO 68mm depth is optimal
