They are tubular not tubeless, so not for you.
Two very, very different things..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

These are for tubular tyres! So no they won't be compatible with either tubeless or clincher tyres.s_mhd_malik said:Me again 👀

Can anyone tell if these are for tubular tyres or suitable for tubeless (gp5000 tl's)?
He doesn't seem to know much about them and says he bought them used.
I've emailed Prime to see if they can tell me more as I can't seem to find anything online when searching the model.
Any thoughts from looking at the photos?

There's a photo which shows the rim tape which has tubeless written on it, there's your answer.
Tubular tyres are stuck onto the rim using glue or adhesive tape so there's no need for rim tape.1 -
tubular are also lighter, faster, safer, better looking, easier to set up and use, used by PRO riders and attract members of the same/opposite sex depending on what you're into.joe_totale-2 said:There's a photo which shows the rim tape which has tubeless written on it, there's your answer.

clubbies don't like them because they are clubbies, so that is another good point..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Can you make anything out from the pics?
Do they appear to be in good condition?
Is Prime a well regarded brand for wheels?
Does the hub look like Shimano? It says 11 speed, will that mean my 11 speed 105 cassette will fit?
I'm thinking I might take a punt on these if I can get them near the starting price. They're local to me too, which is an added bonus!

Prime are Wiggle's own brand. Basically fairly cheap and cheerful but nothing wrong with them. Just don't overpay for them.0

What do you think they're worth?0

It sounds like they are at least 3rd hand. Also the seller doesn’t seem to know what model they are and only knows that they are tubeless because he’s read it on the rim. Which is a bit strange.0
