I have a nice pair of Carbon Ti rim brake hubs laced to Far sports 25x30mm tubular rims. I recently bought some Bora WTO 45s, also rim brake (of course) and tubeless. The Boras are great if a bit heavy, so I’m starting to think my tubular wheels are unlikely to get much use! I really like the hubs so that would be a shame.

I could keep them as a climbing set or re-lace the hubs onto some light tubeless rims. Any thoughts?
And if new rims, which ones? Similar depth would be best and if I can reuse the spokes even better.

Braking on the Boras is excellent so that’s a factor and I’d like to avoid swapping pads.
Thanks!

How about reaching out to farsports and ask them for a pair of rims with the same specs in clincher?

Not worth the hassle re-using spokes IMHO.

Unclear what you're trying to achieve by changing the rims.
You have two wheelsets that you like, even if you currently favor the Boras. You need a backup wheelset anyway. Keep them as they are.
