Glad they finally got rid of the "Look at Me" graphics. I'll be interested in a ride report.

Do my eyes deceive me, or are those eyelets on the nipple holes?

Can this be true???
So you need 60-80W alone for the tires at 40 kph?
It seems very high to me...
Add on all the other factors and one need a 6 cylinder....



the best clincher race tyre that happens to also be tubeless is the Specialized S-Works Turbo Road if you believe this article http://velonews.competitor.com/where-th ... tires-fast

however they didn't include the new Schwalbe Pro One and the new Vittoria Corsa Speed so there's that...

No deception, the tubeless clincher models of the 38's and 55's have them in order to have the sealed rim for tubeless applications. The tubular models have traditional spoke holes and nipples. Easton has used these eyelets on their Haven Carbon mtb wheels with great success.
