• I don't think they are... the top one has normal eyelets, how would you insert the nipples without a hole n the rim bed... the UST ones use FORE cups

  • the UST ones use FORE cups

    You can get UST certification without having the undrilled bed, as long as you pay the fee and pass the dimensional tolerance tests. I'm not even sure that you have to pass an air seal test, UST is mostly about making sure every UST tyre will mount on, and stay on, every UST rim of appropriate width.

  • I see... I was convinced a UST rim had to be tubeless ready rather than tubeless compatible... by which I mean no need for tape.

    Anyway... very annoying Mavic no longer make their FORE rims... seems like going backwards in time
