​​I watch carefully and often stop to sweep or carry rocks off the shoulder of the road. My bikes all have 25mm IW hookless rims and 28/30mm tires running no more than 55psi. I'm not worried about the hookless rims. All of my carbon wheelsets are from BTLOS. They charge the same price for hooked or hookless wheelsets. Take your pick. Mine all cost under $800, delivered. I also select no spoke access holes, so no rim tape required.

The website lists the WARL49 and WARLC49 wheelsets as both weighing 1364.8 +/-- 25 g as well as being tubeless compatible and available with Smooth Inside Wall Technology. What advantage does the hookless version offer over the hooked version?
