recomendatons for tubless 29'r wheelsets
Hi
looking to see what other people are running for tubeless 29'r wheel sets
if I buy a 29'r it will be my race bike so I'd be looking for something relatively light that cna still handle some abuse since our races are technical and rocky and rooty

I am 200+ lbs, done lots of hard training and one race so far on my Easton Havens. I check them on a regular basis and they are still as true as the day I got them. They are one of the lightest you will find, but as stiff as any wheel I have ever ridden. They are one of the few wheel sets on the market that specifically say they have no weight limit, not to mention they look pretty sweet.

Arches on ZTRs is going to be your best bang for the buck. You may be able to go with Crests depending on how much you weigh.

+1 for Stans- Arches should be fine... (I run 355's on HT and Flows on DS).

mechanically sound
Delgado rims+Hope hubs, Gorilla tape tubeless conversion with regular old Maxxis Ignitors. The key is the homebrew sealant(doesn't ****er up like stan's).
