Climbing rim-brake tubeless wheel set to replace Campy Bora 35

[roadchallenge]

What about some Xentis wheels?
The Squad 2.5 is their climbing wheelset and it's availablein different iterations.
I believe they also have DT internals and spokes. Probably a better braketrack than the Roval wheels.

Very narrow 24,6mm rim outside, and not tubeless.

I learned to stick with Campy or one particular brand rear hub. The rear freehub placement may be slightly different which requires a slight rear mech adjustment. My Mavic FTS-L wheels always required me to do a very minor cable adustment to them for perfect shifting when swapping. But you may want to check technical documents for that.

This is a good reminder for those of us who do switch between wheels week to week or especially to use them as support wheels in a race. You sure as hell don't want to fuss with anything during a free-lap in a criterium or worse chasing the bunch after a flat.

It would be cool if EPS or AXS could instantly 'learn' a cassette and repostion itself after one cycle top to bottom on the cassette!

Hopefully not!

Get the LB wheels! I have an AR56 wheelset with Carbon-Ti hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes. It's very light for a 56mm deep wheel, it's very stiff and last but not least,they're EXTRAORDINARY value for money.

Would you buy the Fulcrum Racing Carbon Zero over the Bontrager Aeolus XXX 2 TLR?

LightBicycle just announced their Falcon Pro rims in both std and flyweight versions.
https://www.lightbicycle.com/newsletter ... -AR45.html

21mm inner, 28mm outer

AR35 410g (Standard) 350g (Flyweight)
AR45 460g (Standard) 380g (Flyweight)

An AR35 Flyweight wheelset with Carbon TI hubs (Disc) spec's out to 1213g+/-25.

They'll have a rim brake version in two months. A 1200g tubeless rim brake wheelset make my mouth water. Gotta start saving up!

These were announced like 2 months ago or something. Rim brake options are cool though.
Remember that a brake track adds weight and light bicycles doesn't do flyweight in rim brake options.
Maybe they will start flyweight rim with this wheelset?!?

Are these stiff in rim brake version or you got it as disc? How do you measure stiff?

The topic purpose is to identify rim-brake to replace the benchmark Campagnolo Bora 35 wheels.

Only wheel-set that beats it is Lightweight, buts costs $6000.

Reminder, this topic is not called “how to buy a noodle wheelset with 21mm width for $1000 from China”.

Light bicycle rims are very high quality don’t get me wrong, it’s aftermarket hubs geometry thats lacking, you have to lace them 28xCX-Sprint spokes to match remotely 2:1 lacing factory wheels have.
