I got sick and tired with wrestling with tires (tubeless ready or not) to fit on TR wheels. I searched and searched for a good set of disc road wheels and found these Shimanos. They are a great bargain for a fairly stiff and not too heavy wheel set. The hubs spin very well! I swear I'm going faster with this new wheel set even though I don't run tubeless anymore. I'd highly recommend this wheelset. I haven't had them long and so cannot speak to durability. My guess is that they will do great.
It's a work in progress for me on whether I like these wheels or not. There does feel to be an aero gain on the roads compared to my previous carbon wheelset. I can see a 2mph uptick on the flat roads. However, on rougher roads, the ride is pretty harsh compared to my previous wheelset. I may have to play with tire pressure because internal rim wide has made the tires measure wider and I can drop a few psi. The big disappointment is crosswinds. It's pretty windy where I live and despite claims, the wheels are pretty prone to jerking the wheel from under me in a gust. The wheels have made my bike more nervous on the road.
I purchased this wheel set as an upgrade from the stock wheels on my Canyon Roadlite CF bike. The ride is much improved, as the bike feels more like it should: a flat handlebar road bike.
These wheels can be run as tubeless, but I'm using them with inner tubes. The one thing I find a bit confusing is the 72 psi maximum inflation. I assume that applies if you're riding tubeless on gravel. I use this bike only on paved roads, and my Vittoria Zaffiro tires have a minimum psi of 87.
After a flat, soon after I installed these wheels, I needed to re-true the rear wheel. Apparently, after wrestling with the tire to get it mounted, I used a little too much force on the wheel. Anyway, long story short, I went to re-true the wheel and as I turned the nipple in a clockwise direction, (in relation to the spoke) just like every other wheel on this earth, it was only making it more out of true. I had it so far out at that point! That�s when I realized the threads were backwards. After that realization, I got it back to true, in short order. Just something to be aware of.
