Beautiful. I didn't know about tubeless spoked wheels.
Whereabouts in Thailand will you be running those wheels?

One of my buddies that went with me on our Hokkaido tour last year just bought some tubeless spoked wheels. We were about 800 miles into the trip (2100 miles total) and two of the rear nipples started pissing air and we were at the northern most point of Hokkaido...there is nothing up there other than the view of Russia over the Pacific. He bought a $15 bicycle pump and proceeded with the trip having to pump his tire every time we stopped to fill up. I will stay with tubes...put a center stand on the bike and you can take care of yourself on a roadside change.

So awesome. I am debating between these or the Carrozzera's for my Thruxton. Are the rims any wider than stock? I saw they have a rim and spoke kit if you want to build them onto your existing hubs.

Done about 1000 km's to date, they ride superbly...the bike feels much nimbler than before.
