I like the idea of running a little lower pressure. I've noticed an improvement while using my HED Ardennes with the wider rims and lower pressure.
Do the math for me. How do you save 200g? The typical tubeless tire weighs near 300g while a 23c tire might weigh 225g with a 75g tube. So is the weight savings in the wheels? DA 24CL weighs about the same as the TL version.
