The deepest I will go will be 40-ish.
I have my eye on the Industry nine C41...
Just hoping for a tubeless version soon! I refuse to run tubes again... I have flatted on my winter beater twice this week alone. :-/

I believe the answer to be "no"... They did add the use of -Textreme- to the AR1 this year, but I believe that the AR-FRD is still a step above, and I would assume lighter. AS it should be for the 4K price tag!


Fair enough! Love the textreme weave though, sets the Felts apart.


So that is the AR-FRD from LAST year to which we're comparing the 2015 AR1 (and AR2 has Textreme, too)?

Why are you so dead-set on running tubeless-only wheels? Almost all clincher wheels can be converted to tubeless, including carbon wheels, like the 303's I'm currently running on my road bike.

Also, why are you using eggbeaters?

Because when mountain bikers and commuters get road bikes they do weird things with them.

I don't trust a non tubeless ready rim with 100 psi.
As for the egg beaters, why not? Four sided entry, lightweight, durable... Etc.

I was however eyeballing the new mavic ti pedals also.. anyone have any input
On those? The zxellium ti.....
