Scared at first but I ordered AR45s for my bike. If you order one without access holes its possible to setup tubeless without putting rim tape. Wheels are sturdy and light, the most comfortable wheels I have as of date. Internal rim width is wide, I have been alternating the tires to accomodate light gravel and road. They also allow personalization of your wheelsets if ever the option you want isnt available on their site. Currently in the process of ordering another!

My cycling journey was very similar: carbon (rim then disc), Ti (disc then rim), steel (disc then rim), vintage steel rim. Steel is a very nice place to be. Vintage steel and modern steel, can be very svelte compared to carbon, especially modern carbon, visually and ride feel.

I like the fact that at 65-70 psi on a 19 mm inner width rim they measure 27.5 mm, my ti frame only has room for 28 max, so this is a very good size for me.

Not even ceramic but spin as good or better than customers hubs with ceramic bearings installed. Really like my Galfer discs as well. Super light rotors and a lot cheaper. Very well made too, they come from motorcycles so gotta be good right? I would love to know how you get on with these rims. Considering these for my gravel wheels but wanna know how they hold up over time. Curious about how they ride on the road too.

Despite their flimsy look the Centerlock versions didnt warp on me though. RT-CL800 and the previous Dura-Ace\Ultegra\XTR generations are the best for consistency.

I know it would have ended up being slightly heavier, but the Challenge Criterium 700x27 come in at around 255. I feel like the extra 30g is worth the ride quality of the Challenge tires...to the point that I don't know if you'd notice 1mm for a faster more comfortable tire. I know its not exactly "slayer of grams" but then you also get the beautiful tan sidewall. Also, the Galfers are the way to go. So much better braking over Shimano rotors.

Loved the intro. Probably your best. Take care with those super short expanders tho ... Re: Extralite Hyper spokes ... I assume those are Alpina Hyperlites? If so, I'm heavier than you and use them on pretty rough gravel descents. Had no issue. But then I'm on fairly deep rims, laced to CarbonTis ... I guess they'd be much more likely to break on a super shallow rim due to the additional flex and forces, and maybe also more so on Extralites due to the 3x lacing. Re: the Galfers. I gave up ... they warp like crazy. Fade also way worse than XTR / new DA / Hope etc.
