Oh, I don't know why, but for some reason I thought it was the opposite. Why would you choose hookless over hooked? What are the major selling points for you?
As for depth, outside of actual riding experience, are there any objective ways to tell how a wheel will handle?
One other thing. What tires do you use with your 303s?
