    No, but I will probably also set up the same wheels for tubeless. I understand the drop channel is pretty deep in deep-v rims, so make sure you use plenty of layers of tape.

    Up to this point, I've not trusted any standard rims for reliable tubeless use. Only Stan's rims. I will give the deep-V a try and see if it's reliable enough to race on.

    Dan,

    Was surprised by and loved seeing my photos in the magazine. Someone congratulated me on it a couple weeks before I got my copy (my subscription had unknowingly lapsed) and I had forgotten about the tires and didn't know what they were talking about.

    Anyway, I'm just now getting around to putting them up on eBay. I post here too.

    Thanks for the fun article!
