I'm curious if there is a limit on the depth of the wheels that you can use.  Looking at a set up with 50/50 clinchers.  Can you go further like 82/82?

 

Thanks

I would stop at 50mm deep in you plan to do road racing, you can go deeper, but I wouldn't.

It all depends on the nature of the course. I ride 404's for crits. I have a new set of ENVE 6.7 (60mm front and 70mm rear) that I ride on most rolling courses. If I am up in the mountains I will ride some 25mm or standard rims.
