Strengths:    Stiff, light, sets up tubeless very easy

Weaknesses:    Graphics are a bit flashy for my taste

Bottom Line:   
I only own the 15mm TA front wheel, so this review only applies to that. The wheel set up tubeless with near identical procedure as Stan's Arch rim, i.e. very easy (with a Maxxis Ignitor tire). Aired right up, familiar "pop" of the bead seating, sealed right up, rode the next day, no discernible air loss. First experience w/ 15mm TA (on new Fox F29 Talas) fork. Front end felt more "positive" for sure, but I'm no downhiller. Rumor has it WTB will be shipping swappable end caps soon if I ever need to run the wheel on my old school QR forks (would be a nice option for touring, etc). This wheel is LIGHT! Short of $$$$ carbon rims, I don't know how you can build up a wheel much lighter. I think WTB has a winner here...
