Do they have to be 30 mm?

I have a pair of these and really love them... proper UST rims with no holes, you inflate them once a month

Aerodynamically they are zero though... I have them on my SS

Thats interesting.

I am thinking about converting missus' bike to 650b taking advantage of the Superstar sale. There are 2 choices, a UST Mavic 421 or Stan's Arch. The first one comes to £99 and the other one £125 .. you reckon UST is better if I am going tubeless? Will be using either Maxxis Refuse 50c or Panaracer Gravel King 1.75" depending on the clearance.

If you want to run tubeless, a UST rim is better... there are other advantages, like being able to replace a spoke without the need to remove the tyre

I lloked at them. they are tubeless ready, not UST... the XM 819 and 821 are UST
