I am looking for a new Wheelset and my greedy eyes fell on :
DT 240s Hubs
RR 1.1 Rims
Aerolite spokes.
Pricey.. It's more expensive as Campa Eurus/ Ksyrium SSC.
But it has more "standard" parts, weighs a tad less (810 back, 700 front) and because of their normal spoke patern they seem to be sturdy, yet comfy.
Mode of use : C cat cycling, but truth is no wheelset would make me a star.
My weigth: 65 kg's.
I too have the DT Hugi hubs on Mavic CXP33 anthracite 32H rims and double butted DT spokes and aluminum nipples sealed w/ loctite. They're by far the most solid wheels I've used and classy too. Somehow I like the traditional look and feel of 'regularly' laced-up wheels and the cartridge bearings on the Hugi hubs are as sweet as the ball bearings on a Campagnolo Record.
Well I just jumped up and down on the "sensible" part of my brain and gave two thumbs up to the "greedy" side🙂

I ordered them... today my bikeshop will tell me how much the damage will be. My prediction is 800-850 Euro *cringes*.
