Has anyone in the US ordered recently? I suspect purchases would incur tariffs, correct? Was really looking to get a wheelset soon, but perhaps I'll have to wait.

Great, ill probably go for those then. 30mm would probably be better aero, but i think i rather take the comfort.
Bought T1100 50mm with CX Ray spokes, ended up at 1275gr for the pair. Quite nice.
Will be fun to compare D50CU-33 with GP5000 S TR 32c vs Elite edge gravel 45mm deep with Caracal Race. Both great tires, but this wheel setup will be over 200gr lighter per wheel. The elite ones weight 1380gr without tires.

I own the 33 with 26 inner and installed a Michelin Power Cup 30mm which came up 34mm and a Vittoria Corsa Pro 30mm which came up 32mm.
The Michelin is wider with a rounder shape, the Vittoria mire pointy in the middle, bot sure which ones I will ride.

My friend measured a conti gp5000 30C at 32mm on that 33 wide rim. Which is why i chose 30C on 33 rim, in fact, for the rule of 105. For a heavy rider, aka, me, at the back i'd put 32C though. The 3 friends i ordered these rims for are all light enough that i did 30C front and back.

I read on bicycle rolling resistance that these michelin tyres aren't meant for wide rims, because the thread pattern that's meant to be rolled on is very narrow. But last time i checked i feel like the widest they made was 28C, so this might have changed. But it's because of that that i never bought them. I'm french, i'm curious how they compare w GP5000, given the rolling resistance tests pretty much the same and they're usually a tad cheaper.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

I read the same, but I had a 28mm Michelin Power Cup (non-TLR) on 21 inner and the 30mm (TLR) on 25mm and now 26mm inner.
Narrow indeed, but will work.

The new Pirelli seem to be fine also.
