Yeah I've heard nothing but good things about Stans Flows, which I was going to go with.I would recommend a Stan's/Sun BST type tubeless wheelset over a UST wheel any day. The Eastons are well made and have nice hubs, but running Stan's tubeless versus UST is a no-brainer for me. Retail price here on Sun or Stan's wheels is about $800 as well, and they'll both be lighter than the Havens.

I'm not too concerned about weight. It's primarily strength, then reliability, then weight (then looks). So the Halo Freedom Disc Pro 29ers would be up there for the first two, but they're over 200g so they lose out on the last (and the last).
My original intention was to run Hope ProII's with the Flows, or Velocity Blunt rims. But to be honest, I like the Havens more. I've watched the vids on how they build & true their wheels, and I've been happy with the Easton stuff so far, so I think I'm sold.
Plan is to run non-UST tyres + sealant. I've read some tips from folk doing the same on UST rims (including these), and no problems from them.
