thats exactly what i was going to get but the rims are tubless, and if you get side wall slice you have to buy a whole new tire.

Wheelset or rim?

Mavic is tried and trusted the 823 and 721 are both cream of the crop. You can run tubes in 823 (Deemax) by unscrewing the valve itself. You'll have to run Presta valves but you can run tubes (I run tubes in mine).

Look at Deetraks, much cheaper and not all that much heavier. They run tubes.

No comment on the Deemax hubs
