Some really nice e-bike wheel upgrades finally available in SA.

 

Rims and hubs from RaceFace and a super duper rim from DT Swiss.

R2915 for the DT rim actually.

Of all the wheels I've built, this is surely the strongest rim I've ever worked with.

 

Here's another perspective: Pair the DT rim with the RF hub and you have a wheel which costs more or less the same as a non-e-bike DT Swiss rim laced to a DT Swiss 350 hub.

 

Incidentally, the RaceFace rim is R1850 - really great value for money in this class of product.
