That's good info for tubeless, I like it.

Here's what Ribble saidThe information we received from the manufacturer put the new wheels at the following weight:

Front: 750g, Rear: 900g



I can see that on Kinesis UK they have listed two weights which is confusing (F: 800g R: 960g), however we have no reference point for the heavier figures.

Late reply, but the new line of No tubes uses NEO line of hubs.
(These accept what you ask for.)

Current/ later No tubes hubs (NEO Team and Pro)
http://www.notubes.com/NEO/

Also accept 11 speed road cassettes.

You also got later versions or current if you wish, of Hope wheels.
These uses PRO 4 hubs
http://www.hopetech.com/product/pro-4-rear-hub/

According to Hope, these hubs can also accept 11 speed road cassette.

11 speed road cassette is wider than MTB dito so it should work with both these brands.
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

I ended up with a pair of DT Swiss R24's. Not the lightest at 1760gr but they are futur proof, tubeless and at a great price. So far so good, they roll nicely, I have not yet played with their tubeless compatibility.

I just brought a set of Fulcrum Racing 5 DB's off wiggle. I have probably 150km on them right now but put em through the wringer today actually on some rather brought gravel roads. I've brought em for cyclocross mainly but used them more on the road so far. I've been very happy with them so far, hubs spin very nicely and though they only have 21 spokes, I haven't had any issues them coming out of alignment.
If they were going to come out of true, they would have today but that said, I am only 58kg. Definitely give wiggle, chain reaction and bike24 a shot, they seem to have the best range, though i never did look at ribble so they might be handy too

bike24 had by fat the best price for DTSwiss that I found. One of the wheels was missing rim tape. Outside of that, all good.
