Kinlin XR31
Didn't know you'd switched to XR31: good rims, really strong and very aero for Al.
Assymetric rear is a pain with tubeless though - but you won't be worrying about that!

What do you mean "switched"? I've been running one since 2016 the first TCR I did.
I actually bought two of them but it turns out the SP dynamo hubs weren't offset so I bought a (non-offset) Velocity Aileron for the front instead. That was destroyed by a scooter in London so I got the DT Swiss 511db and at some point (maybe the next year) I was running that stupid deep Light Bicycle rim on the front. When that Kinesis 4SD frame cracked and I got the Tripster, I went back to the DT Swiss front wheel (w/ thru axle hub) and then I was hit by the car which destroyed the Kinlin rear, but since I still had the Kinlin rim from 2016 I'd never used, that got built into another rear wheel on DT Swiss hub which I'm still riding today. It was tubeless for Badlands but it's back to road use now and tubes. #csb

You just reminded me. It was your suggestion that led me to sticking a 35mm GP Urban on the back of the Mason for Transiberica. I think it actually came up 34mm on the Kinlin XR31 rim but seemed to do well. Flatted once hitting a rock at speed on a descent but did the same to the Pro 4 Endurance on the front in the early hours one morning and that one basically destroyed the tyre.
