Tubeless rims

[Aminthule]

Are there any 700c 36h tubeless rims on the market? I'm looking for some for my Genesis Croix de Fer for running 32-45mm gravel/cx tyres.

I've been pleased with my Velocity A23 rims although they may not be quite wide enough for you:-

Brick Lane Bikes are the UK distributor:-

Thanks.

There's a number of people you can talk to about this, Malcome at https://thecycleclinic.co.uk/ is very helpful and a strong tubeless advocate and good wheel builder (other wheel builders are also available of course).

I'm running H Son Plus Archetypes on my CdF, which I set up as tubeless 1400 km ago.  They are not specific tubeless rims but I have 36/32 rear/front.  Other rims are available so worth a look around..

A23s, Archetypes and TB14s were the most sensible 36h options I found when I was looking a while ago - the Archetypes and TB14s aren't officially suitable, but anecdata suggests they work just fine.

Mind you, I've had no problems running Open Pros tubeless ...

I ordered these for touring wheel build in 36H:

Have used with 45mm WTB Nano tyres and 50mm Schwalbe Big Apples, no problem

Nice rims, but disc brake only. Note that easy tubeless set up may need more than one (5!) wraps of tape, depending on the tyre

Just re-read the OP. Croix De Fer. Disc brake.

Go for these:- http://www.velocityusa.com/product/rims/aileron-622

They'll cover all your needs re tyre size. I have them on my favourite/do everything bike, my Dirty Disco.
Mine are 28/32 F/R with Sapim CX spokes on Hope Evo hubs built by Paul Hewitt and they've had some hammer; touring, off-road, commuting and just riding on Manchester's roads. I've done 7500+ miles on them and I've wrecked tyres on pot-holes but the rims haven't suffered. They look good too (IMO).
Here's a picture of the bike and wheels after a FNRttC (Manchester-Morecambe):-

I think I'm running 28mm GP 4 Seasons there. From memory, the tyre's width was higher at recommended pressures.

Love the arrangement of the spoke reflectors

Thanks 

The "disruptive" pattern is deliberate.

Mine too, I have 7 pairs on a 28 spoke front wheel and 4 groups of 4 on the back 32 spoke on the Rose. On my apex I have 4x4 on 32 and 9x2 on 36.
I like to think that it will produce a pulsing pattern which will be more noticeable.
Great minds think alike.

huh, I initially assumed you'd put the furthest one out adjacent to the valve, to make finding it easier at night.

But you tubeless people don't need to worry so much about such things.

The reflector then tends to get bumped/ dislodged when inflating the tyre.

I'm thinking of using H Plus Son Hydra, wider than the Aileron but quite similar (as it happens it is being built into a CdF titanium frame), I'm likely to run 35s in it, not decided yet whether to go tubeless or not (also a Brick Lane Bikes line)
