Seen them in action and was tempted due to the 200g saving over a Darryl, but holding out for the new Surly MOBD's as these are Tubless ready and the BR710's aren't (but go ghetto tubeless fine)

Several mates have 710s and run them tubeless with ease. I'm impressed and will probably get a set some day.

I run br710's on a hope fatsno rear hub, on a Sonder. They work fine and there are zero issues with tubeless. Check the previous pictures.

Thanks for the comments on the BR710s.... been tempted and thought I would enjoy the wheel building challenge again. Good to hear they work well ghetto tubeless... be my first attempt at tubeless with big tyres (currently lazy version of Schwalb light weight tubes with Stans in there - has worked very well).
