If FEMA had the bicycles, would it fund Hustler's manlet bib?

I just dig how this system is dry and so compact. One of my concerns about running tubeless in the big 70-150 mile grinders in remote areas is puncturing and having to stick a tube in it. The high pressure tubeless I run are really hard to get off the rim. This little widget means fixing a flat would take less time that putting a tube in a tire than you can dismount with your fingers. I'm also slowly converting over to road tubeless and again, this widget means not needing to even carry a tube. Just a CO2, inflater and the "pill" version of the Dynaplug. Maybe a mini pump for longer rides in remote areas.

Yup, hydraulic 105 componentry. Super easy to ride on top of without worry of sliding over the front, and effortless control so far. My first foray into road bikes. It's been ten years since I put any useful riding into my old mountain bike.
I was expecting the white to be just a boring gloss white. It's actually a fancy pearl white now that I get to see it in person. I like.

So, my dog bought this and he's taking it to Pasadena. Be awful to him, shame him.
Dude is #1 bro rider, will "go Bambi" in every race, please teach him to drive a Miata properly. ;(

Anybody have recommendations for good, decently cheap, lightweight mountain bike wheels? I need to get rid of the ridiculously heavy downhill wheels that the PO put on my Santa Cruz, and put on something a bit more climbing/XC friendly. I have heard that Stans are very good, is there something else I should be looking at?

Peasant 26er, it's a Santa Cruz Butcher, although there is room to fit 27.5s with no issue as far as I can tell. 100X20 front, 135X10 rear. It's a lyrik fork, and because of its 20mm axle, if buying a complete wheelset, there are only downhill wheels that I can find. I'm perfectly fine keeping the hubs and building a new set with different rims. Full disclosure, I'm pretty new to mountain bikes, but have discovered I like it better than road biking which I've been doing the past few years.
