Another candidate in the never ending wheel upgrade saga!

Anyone ridden the Ultegra 6700 tubless compatible wheels?

Any view on the as to quality, hubs, stiffness?

have you tried them with tubeless tyres and is so what like and which tyres?

Cheers.

    Great wheels. Pretty stiff but not a hardh ride. They seem tough too - I have done about 2000 miles on mine and hit lots of cattle grids and potholes. Never had to true them. Its a bit early to comment on longevity of rim walls and bearings but no noticeable wear in either yet. I havent tried them tubeless as I dont really see the point on a road bike where snake-bite punctures are fairly rare. Great bargains around (eg Merlin Cycles).

    Exactly what he said ^^^^^^^ not as stiff as Ksyriums I`ve got but still a nice pair of wheels, look good (understated graphics), and great price from Merlin, paid £204 in the Jan sales :)
