Hutchinson Road Tubeless is tyreless
Since I'm contemplating some wheels with road-tubeless compatible rims, I browsed around for some road-tubeless tyres. Hutchinson (the only manufacturer of road-tubeless tyres) have three models, but nobody appears to have any stock. What's going on?
don't know for sure, but the whole tubeless road thing is yet to take off in a big way and the levels of stock in the UK probably reflect that. when we got our test set i remember they came direct from the continent...
i'll ask around and see what's what
DT Swiss have a new wheelset coming out called the TRICON which is road tubeless compatible.
Anyway; I decided to forget the tubeless thing, and have ordered some hand built wheels from Harry Rowland.
two wheels good; four wheels bad
didn't get much back from tubeless people anyhows, it seems to be keeping a low profile. your new wheels sound nice - what hubs and rims?
Some here at £40 a pop - a good supplier and nice bloke to:
Ah, a new version of the Hutchinson Fusion - 3 not 2. I've seen them posted in online catalogues, but this is the first time I've seen them in stock.
Wheels will be Ambrosio Excellight rims on Ambrosio Zenith hubs, 28 spokes front, 32 rear.
two wheels good; four wheels bad
