Carbon tubeless ready disc wheels
Discussion
Having run the winter bike tubeless with Stans Grail rims and schwalbe g-one speed tyres, I'm now wanting to go tubeless on the summer bike, it has oem cannondale carbon czero rims on it but they are not tubeless ready (and unlikely to be ghettoed due to the rim shape). Ideally want to go carbon.
One option are these wheels which are the current cannondale oem option, they have Stans rime so will be easy tubeless. https://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/components-c9/wheel...
Another option are hunt wheels but I just fancy a slightly deeper rim as they are only 30mm deep.
Any ideas ?

Fulcrum racing Quattro carbon, 40mm.
They are not advertised as tubeless, but the rim/spoke bed is carbon with the nipples in a void. Therefore no tape needed, I've been running Schwalbe Pro One 25mm and have about 3-4000kms on them. I read a review where someone had been running them tubeless and took the plunge, have had no issue, been up Ventoux, round Amstel Gold, Spain, Italies awful southern roads and not a single problem.
I run DT R24 Splines for the commuter/winter wheel set with Hutchinson Secteur 28mms. They're a bit tired after about 10000kms or so, and am considering Hunt as I was before the Fulcrums, at the time I wanted the wheels quickly, Hunt were just launched with lead times etc so I went with the Fulcrums, no regrets.
Total convert to tubeless, just hate mucking about with tubes at the roadside etc....

Cero CRD38? I've got the ARD23 which I'm running tubeless with Schwalbe 28mm tyres.

How about 45mm? I am a big advocate of Malcolm and respect his opinion.
His offering here, 1600g looks light to me (I know nothing about disks, rotors etc)!
Worth a call.

Agreed about Tubeless not looking to go back to clincher any time soon.

Yeah, Hunt 50s are coming. 1436g for £1099.
Looking at the pics they use Novatec D411CB and D412CB carbon hubs which can be bought for about £300, ~(79 + 229 grams).
Not sure whose rims but you could get Light Bicycle 45mm U sections for £270 (475g ea) or Carbonal 50s (500g)
and then £200? for some trick Pillar spokes = 1450g for £700
Or use my lads worn out rim brake LBC 35s, £70 for a pair of Novatec 771/772 hubs from China and some nice Sapim / DT Swiss butted spokes and you get wheels which weigh 1388g for £180?
Our Light Bicycle rims have been raced quite harshly and survived 2 years and go up tubeless very nicely with Schwalbe Pro Ones.

I've no idea if they're any good but these Prime wheels from CRC seem decent and just over £600 with BC discount - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/prime-rr-50-car...

Those are basic Novatec 611 hubs (£80), off the shelf butted spokes (£30) and generic rims (£300). I'll build you a set for £450.rs4al said:
Went for the Hunt 30 aero carbon's as my local wheel builder was struggling to get a disc specific rim (i.e. With no braking track).
What sealed the deal is my lbs, Cadence in Bath sells the hunt wheels so nice and easy for any warranty issues. Now got to wait till July....
They're well worth the wait.What sealed the deal is my lbs, Cadence in Bath sells the hunt wheels so nice and easy for any warranty issues. Now got to wait till July....
I've been running a set of those on my Tripster and they're now being used on my Bokeh. They're incredibly light and when I've been running them with a set of Schwalbe Pro One 28's the bike flies.
On a slightly related note, I've been finding lately that the Schwalbe tubeless tyres are somewhat fragile and haven't had any luck running them tubeless so I'm going back to running tubes I think.
I had the same requirements and ended up building a pair with DCR Wheels, using BDO-40 rims. They're disc-specific and very light for 40mm rims. A decent stable profile and seem to be nicely aero. They came in at just over a grand, with a SONDelux dynamo at the front and a Tune rear hub. I think they're a little more expensive today but without the dynamo you'll probably pay similar to that.
