These are awesome rims for the right application - fairly light/non-abusive XC riders. Uses the proven NoTubes tubeless system, is stiff enough, and very very light.
A great wheel. Very strong, rolls true, has handled everything I've thrown it at, and if I had the extra cash available, would allow me to go tubeless on the rear of the bike. A great setup and a definite selling point when I picked up the new (to me) bike.
Pros Lightweight
Tubeless
Allowed awesome hub
Cons Too lazy to set up tubeless
Spent too much money on bike to afford to switch at this time
I rode GG's wheels for a few months which had these laced to a set of Hope Pro 2s. The lack of rolling resistance is noticeable. Changing tires SUCKED! Set them up with stans and you won't need to worry about it.
Pros Light. Look good with stickers off in low profile mode.
Cons Can dent easily on rock strikes. Chaning certain tires is a BEAST unless you use the right technique.

With Stan's yellow tape installed, tire installation is reasonable and the stiffness and weight of the rim make it IDEAL for XC riding.
Pros
At 340g per rim, it's incredibly light. Low profile, stealth look.
Cons
| ThankPutting tires on can be a test on your patience because of the relatively shallow rim depth.
