I wanted a wider rim to replace my Mavic ST Lefty front wheel. It just had to be about the same weight and tubeless compatible.
The wheel was built with a Cannondale Lefty hub, DT Swiss Super Comp spokes, DT Swiss alloy nips, and the I23 rim. It came in at 780 grams with my old Mavic ST coming in at 760 gr.
This thing set up stupid easy tubeless with the WTB TCS (Stan's rebranding) rim tape. I put a Schwalbe Hans Damph on with no issues airing up.
The rim rides well for me. It's rails the turns better than my Mavic. I know that the whole wheel build matters, not just the rim. However, it's a good part of it.
