• Interested to know people’s experiences of hookless rims—any issues with losing tyres at lower pressures? Encountered a world of tyre compatibility nightmares? Everything been fine and it’s put an end to tyres that wouldn’t seat well before?

    Thinking more for rims intended for gravel & wider tyres i.e. inner widths of 20mm and above. Any hot takes? Hookless good or hookless bad?

  • I've had a set of Mavic hookless alloy on my MTB hardtail for a good few years. I like running quite squirmy pressures (17-20psi) and never had a burp despite evidence of serious flex of the sidewalls.
