Tubeless clincher wheelset

Robb0

I'm looking for a tubeless clincher wheel upgrade. Yes I know I should probably go for tubs but I don't want the hassle and expense. Currently on Mavic Aksiums DIY tubeless but they are heavy (1900g!) Are the Stans NoTubes ZTR Alpha 340 Comp wheels any good?

Decent reviews but one reckons they are quite flexy, and I'm 80kg so could be an issue. I don't want brake-rub just to save a few grams.

Any other contenders?

Tubs are far less hassle than tubeless in my experience.

I should have stipulated rim brakes. But I see Hunt do those too, so thanks.

Stans Alpha are now out of production. The 340s are delicate little things but loverly if built and used considerately. My 48kg son road races on them and has given them a lot of stick for 18 months and they're still straight and the tubeless tyres (Schwalbe Ones) hold pressure much better than latex tubes (he pumps them up every 3 weeks in the off season). To be honest he has one tubed and one tubeless on and its hard to tell the difference. I wouldn't let him use them for cross though.

For an adult find some Alpha 400s then I'd say go with them as they're just a smidgers heavier but a lot stronger. I've seen folks doing cross on them too.

I'll build you a pair if you like or just buy them here as I often do...

Price Range?

Bontrager line is excellent and have a fantastic carbon line up as well.

My fulcrum racing 3, 2 way fit, have been great. Tubeless Kyserium's in a word....

To be honest, the beat way to get Stan's Rims is to get them hand built by someone rather than the Stan's own build. Superstar for example
