Lightish 650B rims

[William]

I just received my 650B A23 rims from Longleaf.  My postal scale only does tenths of an ounce, but they each measure 15.2 oz with the plastic still on.  That's ~431g.  That's a little bit lighter than the Synergy.  I'm posting this just in case anyone wants measured weights of this rim.

I have not tried the 650B variant, but the A23 is a favorite of mine when I need a lightweight rim.

Does the A23 have a more shallow well than the Synergy? (See Jan
Heine's recent blog:

That would be an even more welcome feature. I really have a hard time
seating the bead of Hetres evenly on Synergies.

The initial reports from Anthony were yes, that seating Hetres is better.
