Some Internet forums I frequent have a culture of keeping threads on recurring topics alive - so instead of creating a new thread on the hookless topic (of which there are…. a lot… all of which have the same argument in them) you just bump the old one to the topic.
Makes the forum more manageable. Oddly this does happen here, but only for the Campagnolo Ekar thread, for some reason. Just a thought. Hookless mountain bike rims are completely fine. Can’t say I’ve used them at high pressures but my desire to ride tires less than 40mm wide is nil at this point. |

tubulars - the original hookless rim!

Hookless rims are cheaper to manufacture so you can expect the industry to start pushing them more. I can't even begin to understand hookless tubeless rims.

Perhaps the lone voice here. Have been using hookless tubeless rims for my road bike (28 mm) since late 2019. Just like my hooked tubeless rims of yore, never had any issues whatsoever.

You're not alone. Zipp 303s for two years. Now on 3 sets of BTLOS hookless. With Pirelli P-Zero TLR tubeless, I'm not worried. |

Risk is defined by many as the probably of a failure occurring times the consequences of that failure. In this case, the former is quite low but the latter very high.
Obviously many people are riding hookless with no issues. It is just that hookless rims have a decreased safety margin compared to hooked rims (on a very safety critical component), and that can be catastrophic for a few unfortunate. And all for what appears to be so that rim manufacturers can save a few grams and a few bucks. |

My DT-Swiss rims on my gravel wheels are hookless. So far no issues in a few years. But I run them at like 35-38 PSI. Not in love with the concept though given the number of reported incidents and accidents.

what is the benefit to the rider/consumer, then?
