Gravel Wheelset: Roval Terra CL vs. ??

Notices
Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

Agree. I think the removal process for the Zipp freehub is basically to remove the wheel from the frame and watch it fall off. I don't think you even need to remove the cassette.

My dt 240exp hub came off just the other day. Not even sure what I was doing at the time. I thought it took a special tool to remove it. ha-ha

Well, at least the DT 350 freehub looks easier to re-assemble per DT's manual; I am not sure I would know how to reassemble a freehub with pawls.

Terske Ti tubeless valves are on sale ($10 off) at Amazon.com so I ordered a pair:

Amazon.com : Terske Titanium Tubeless Presta Valve Stems Light, Strong & Serviceable : Sports & Outdoors

Reviews say these have a wider opening at the base compared to some other tubeless valves.

Just took the wheels out of the box to weigh and register them for the Specialized/Roval warranty.

Weights with Roval rim tape, tubeless valves, and spoke sticker: 644 g (front) + 746 g (rear) = 1,390 g (total).
