Couldn't wait any longer, ordered myself some Hope Mono Aero Stan's Alpha 400 wheels today. Just over 1500g the pair, and will be pairing them with Schwalbe Tubeless tyres as soon as available.
Will let you all know how it's going when I've got some miles under them.
Well, this morning, I had my first ride out n my Hutchinson Sector 28s which replaced my previous Conti Gatorskins 28s.
Certainly felt more comfortable with better grip. I think they might even have felt faster, they certainly didn't feel any slower.
I'm running them on a Stans Arch rim that they're not supposed to work with so I'll probably explode in a huge fireball in the next few days.
However for the current cost premium of a dedicated tubeless set of road wheels, I'd rather spend my money elsewhere and get clinchers.
I cant remember the exact figure but the Fulcrum Racing 1 Two Way Fit wheels are only about £50 more expensive than the standard clinchers. Tyre's are in the same ball park pricewise, so not too much of a premium.
As above. Currently awaiting a new set of tubeless wheels for Mrs Y. At the time of choosing rims the wheelbuilder had a choice of 3 tubeless ready rims, with a variety of prices, some of which were not much more than other clincher rims.
