Which tubeless rim?

UCI rules only apply if you are doing the UCI elite race. If you are doing the cat 3, cat 4, etc race at let's say USGP, that tire rule does not apply to you

Most tires seem to be narrower than the label would suggest. But, are you saying you're going to do a UCI-sanctioned race on clinchers?

so by using an A23 or a Hed C2, will a 32 width tire be too wide for the UCI limit? It will make the tire wider, Correct?

<p>Garth,</p>
<p>I agree with what was said about the Stans Rims, they are light, but a tad on the soft side. A great rim that is very much like the A23 in terms of height, weight (470 grams a hoop) and width (23mm) are the HED Belgium Series C2. They are slightly better due to a welded joint and a better machined brake track They come in 24, 28 and 32 hole. clincher or tubular too. I built mine up and have a handful of training rides. They work really well!</p>

Not Spamming you Scott, this is a new wheel set which is CX specific, CX mag will be doing a review soon as they have them in hand. Just trying to add a possible selection for ya. The hubs are super beef and perf for CX (Cole DSA). The rims have a seam (channel) for better adherence of tubular glue as the tire seam sits in this channel, they are also 23mm wide. I'd highly recommend checking into them as an option, but whatever, if you want to take it as spam, then simply disregard, and move…

<p>Thanks for the replies Scott & c-note.</p>

<p>I never thought about the A23 as I was looking for a tubeless specific rim for ease of inflating but it seems like a good option since the 355 29er rims are getting scarce. The Alpha 340 rim does seem flimsy even for the road so that is why I was interested in rider opinions for cross. My weight is around 200lbs so the stronger the better.</p>

<p>Actually I've been riding on a set of second hand 355s laced to King hubs for the last few months but my wife recently took them for her cross bike. They have been a great wheelset so far with really no problems at all but then I've only been training on mixed terrain not racing. I do find the narrow brake track a bit more tedious to adjust pads but I haven't found much of an issue braking then again I'm using TRP CX9s so there is so much power to them anyways.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regarding the tubular Cole wheels elgee pointed out, I already have a pair of ENVE 2.45 rims I was going to laced up but decided I want a dedicated "do everything" wheelset instead. I don't think I can get away with training on tubulars especially as I often use my cross bike for long excursions in the mountains. Flatting a tubular on a dirt trail 25 miles away from civilization doesn't sound too appealing. I guess flatting a tubular is probably similar to flatting a tubeless tire but at least I can pop a tube if needed.</p>
