ERD*
Effective Rim Diameter (ERD) is the maximum distance that spokes need to bridge going from one end of the rim to another. How do we calculate the ERD of our rims? The corresponding equation and a drawing is as shown: ERD=OD-(rim depth)*2+(rim thickness)*2
For example: ERD of PRD923-38C rim=633mm-38mm*2+3.5mm*2=564mm Most people prefer ERD including the length of the nipple cap. However, customers may use different nipples and components for building. Please add the height of the nipple cap(2.5mm~3mm generally) for your spoke calculation. If the height of the nipple cap is 3mm, then ERD of your PRD923-38C rim is: 564mm+3mm*2=570mm
A: Rim nipple bed thickness (=3.5mm) B: Length of nipple cap (2.5mm~3mm generally)

ProX 29mm Wide (23mm Inner Width) Road Disc Brake Carbon Rim Features
A new 23 mm internal-width carbon road rim has been developed for riders who demand higher performance from their equipment. Carefully optimized for aerodynamic efficiency and offered in five depth options (38/45/50/55/60mm), this rim series expands the possibilities for modern road wheel design. Built to match current road cycling trends, the wider rim profile accommodates larger tires ranging from 30 mm to 50 mm. This configuration improves traction, ride comfort, and overall stability while reducing the likelihood of pinch flats. Riders will experience smoother cornering and increased confidence during high-speed descents.
Aerodynamic Performance with Multiple Depth Options
Different rim heights allow riders to tailor performance to their riding style and terrain.
38mm: A lightweight option optimized for climbing and rapid acceleration. Ideal for riders who prioritize responsiveness and efficiency on steep terrain.
45/50mm: Well-balanced all-round depths that combine aerodynamic benefits with manageable weight. Suitable for varied riding conditions, from endurance rides to aggressive solo efforts.
55/60mm: Deeper profiles focused on maximum aerodynamic advantage. These rims help maintain speed on flat roads, time trials, and sprint efforts while remaining manageable in crosswinds.
