Any recommendations from the CP crowd? I'll admit I'm in a bit over my head here, but so far the contenders seem to be:
Mavic Kysrium Elite UST
Hunt Race Aero Wide
Fulcrum Racing 17C
Shimano Ultegra WH-6800
I've also noticed that many of these wheels come tubeless, or are tubeless ready. What's the consensus on tubeless tech for road riding —#is it ready for prime time?

Are you looking to sell the original pr2 wheelset when you upgrade? I've got a giant frame/drivetrain i'm trying to build up and am looking for some wheels in reasonable shape
