Unless you’re riding 650b, which is the land of eyewateringly expensive lightweight rims.

I can confirm the bonti vr-cf alloy bars are quite good as well

this looks like a smartened up Zipp SL80, I’m curious about this thing.
Are we still updating the parts database?

I haven’t. Should wait until I’m less stoned to do so.

I only have experience with the Rimpact version, but they were no harder to install than a slightly squirmy tube.

dang, get me into one of these with 33mm road tubeless. Here I was thinking I should save up for a disc frame +chinacabon rims!!

I have a 10yo steel frame that totally got a second life when I put tubeless tires on. I used 25mm to be conservative about clearance, but when they wear out I’m going up to 28mm. DT460 rims wih dyno front / 105 rear for winter, CK r45 to deep carbon rims for summer.

@JUGE_FREDD do you mean the current model “S TR”, or is “S TR” third gen?
Read some mixed reviews over here about the S TR not being as reliable / durable as the previous model.
From what I could find maybe in S TR they removed some of the protection of the previous model and branded it as “tubeless-only” rather than “tubeless-ready”
“GP5000 S TL” was their first generation of road tubeless, which had a full butyl rubber liner layer inside that made them almost airtight even without sealant. The original road tubeless tires from Hutchinson 10-15 years ago had even thicker UST style liners but that’s gone out of favor along with tapeless rims.
“GP5000 S TR” was their second generation, which has a few tweaks to how the casing is constructed but is mostly ditching the rubber liner layer. I think they’re still not quite as supple/comfy as the lighter Schwalbe tires but like the end result.
I’m unaware of a third generation
The main downside of the lighter casing is having to pump up your tires more regularly

Speaking of 33mm tubeless on old road bikes, I don’t think I’ve posted this since I got the new fork. Or maybe I have.
Need to engage in some mild tang-manipulation to get the rack a little further out.

Nice! What fork is that?
Mars Cycles touring fork…it was made for a custom bike but the customer didn’t end up buying it. It’s sparkly…one day it will go on a sparkly bike.

That makes me want to put a TL fork on my michalo. Would need a very similar mid reach & fender eyelet fork which isn’t that common.

Soma might sell something like that.
heck, you’re right. I feel like I looked a few years ago and didn’t have much luck.
I have one of the Champs Elysee canti forks that I swapped onto my CX frame when I used it for a Japan tour.

This explains why mine were always way lower than expected after a few days.
