Easedon Ultra Light Gravel

For tubeless gravel I'd go hookless! I much prefer the squared tire profile of a hookless rim. Handling-wise it just feels stiffer on cornering and I can push harder on the turns. You'll never run 45c tires beyond 40psi. Mounting a gravel tire onto a hookless rim is even harder than a hooked rim. Unless you're doing 30 foot plus hard drops, that tire will never come off. Even with wide internal width rim, a hooked rim will still have a bulbous tire profile. Road is a different matter, but for wide profile gravel tires I think hookless is great.
