What model and size tires do you plan on using? If you are thinking about 28mm tires, you might look at the RR56CO2 hoops. They are much wider than the RRU55CO2, and also lighter.
DT350 hub and RR56CO2 hoops weigh 1557g(estimated) $719
Novatec 411/412 hub and RRU55CO2 hoops weigh 1544g(estimated) $629
The weight difference is insignificant, but you'll have a much wider wheel, with better hubs
I was likely going to use 25c tubeless conties, I was considering the RRU55CO2 over the RR56CO2 because the U shape design appears to better suit crosswinds. I'm a smaller guy, around 63kg, so this is a bit of a concern for me.
