I've never done the tubeless thing, but a recent unfortunately timed pinch flat has me reconsidering for my gunnar. Looking for recs with the following:

tubeless
available in 32h
700c
wide profile
rim brake

Thoughts and experiences?

DT R460 is the budget king. Far fewer reported reliability/QC issues than the Velocity A23.

I have a set laced to 6800 hubs on my Macho Man that have been invisible.

HED Belgium C2+

I think that DT Swiss also makes some good ones, I am contemplating trying theirs

I've got Belgium+ on my cross bike. They have been fantastic thus far, very happy with them.

Hed Belgium + often seen as the gold standard, with a price to match. Braking is the best I've ever experienced on an alloy rim if that's important.

Easton R90SL is basically the same rim (made in the same factory) but a slightly narrower and deeper. Cheaper too.

Boyd Altamont and Altamont Lite have gotten nothing but great reviews, although they can be very pricey as well. Also inventory is hit or miss.

DT R460 are bang for buck champs. Not as flashy or wide as the above options, but will perform just as well.

Kinlin is also a good value option, not quite as spiffy construction but still strong, and have asymmetric options for balancing spoke tension on the rear.

Lot of great tubeless options out there now.

Pacenti's Forza and Brevet are TC and come in 32h.

How about the new Mavic Open Pro UST?

Ive heard the new Mavic stuff has a lot of problem. Shops have told me to stick to HED for this, but who knows.

I am really into the November proprietary rim.

This, plus the standard brake track version is uglier than sin.
