Hi
Looking to upgrade my Cannondale slate wheelset (1700g) with something lighter.
Run the tyres tubless at the moment with 30psi and the tyres are 42mm wide.

Are Stan's crest suitable for this road/gravel use? Otherwise any suggestions for a light wheelset about £600
Thankyou

Yup, no problems there.

The reason they drop off some people's lists is because they won't take road tyres at decent pressures. If that's not an issue, crack on.

Stan's Grail are the alternative that covers both.

tubeless + high pressure is the issue.

I'm runing them tubed and they are great.

I bought Nextie carbon rims. Same price and weight as the Stans, but can be ran tubeless up to 80PSI.
