Just got a new pair of C50's (WH-R9270-Tl). Weight is incl. stock rim tape and without any valve stuff.
Delivered without valve extensions but with TL valves, spoke keys. I'll run them with Vittoria latex tubes.

Question: I own 2x C50 Dura-ace wheels for my Dura-ace 12 speed equipped Aethos. I have one spare front wheel Dura-ace C36. If I buy a rear wheel Dura-ace C36, can I convert it somehow to a SRAM XDR body?

Nope. Shimano don't want people using different companies products with their wheels.Cuypmeister wrote: ↑Fri Aug 25, 2023 10:25 amQuestion: I own 2x C50 Dura-ace wheels for my Dura-ace 12 speed equipped Aethos.

Best off selling the C36 wheel and buying a wheelset that comes with an XDR freehub.

Thinking of getting a pair of the dura ace C50s second hand for my TCR to replace some 303 firecrests which I will move to the gravel bike. Probably cost about £800. The Zipps have junk hubs but replacing those would be expensive and void the warranty so I was just going to move them to a gravel bike. Is there another set of wheels with good hubs that would be a better choice than the C50s for similar money secondhand? Seems to be contrasting views on these. They aren't special in any area it seems but a solid all rounder.
