I've had R460db set up tubeless for the past 6 years. When I first mounted them, the rim join did leak a bit as it is only pinned rather than welded. Since then I have retaped them 3 times, had at least 4 sets of tyres on and off them and not a single issue.

I have those exact rims in 28h on my CX bike. Over the last 2+ years they have done everything from CX races to bike packing and have been great set up tubeless with various tyres. The rear has a slight dent (all my offroad rims have dents as I like to push the limits of what is doable on a cx bike) but that hasn't seemed to affect anything.

Bitex.co.uk is one-and-the-same as DCR wheels. Have ordered a few times from them and fully recommend.
AFAIK he’s importing bitex hubs and kinlin rims directly from Taiwan

That's good to know @JB and what I'd expect from DT Swiss as we've got a few pairs of their wheels here which work fine tubeless. Although the general consensus does seem to be that in order of ease of tubeless it goes Forza > Kinlin > R460Db.
It turned out that postage from Pacenti was another tenner, so actually £140 a pair. I also realised that the forum recommended XR-31 RTS are 31mm, and honestly I'd prefer 26mm so the XR-26 RTS might make sense for me. Cycle Clinic says it's a wonderful rim and a great replacement for an SL25.
Has anyone got any experience of these? Or ordering from Bitex Hubs?

They're out of stock at most places but the Bitex website doesn't give a contact address or phone number and says "In stock in the UK right now!" which is making me suspicious...
