Doen anyone have or know the quality of these wheels ?

 

and what they weigh ?

 

dtswiss hubs (240) (370) with dt rev spokes and mavic xm719

 

Are they heavier than for instance american classics and are the hubs reliable and easily serviceable?

DTSwiss 240's rock - for many they're the bench mark. Only way to 'upgrade' is with Hope / Industry 9 style bling.

Those would be quality lightweight XC wheels. Probably not quite as light as the AM Classics, but both the rims and hubs should be a little more durable.

Just recently got a set of DT Swiss 1885 wheels (with the 240 Hubs).

 

 

 

I cannot be happier, they rock....    smiley17.gif

it seems i was mistaken.  the hubs seem to be the base 370s.

 

anyone have any info on these ?

 

370s are still good gear, Giant, Trek and Specialized have spec'd bikes these guys fitted as OEM. They'll run great, you'll have no worries. It's LX / XT level stuff that is just as reliable.

I must also say that i have mavic crossmax slr wheels at the moment and they rock. so i was thinking more in terms of comparing them to these.

I have a wheelset consisting of Mavic 317s and the DT 370's. Came of a Giant bike. Strong and reliable. It takes a beating. They feel unbeakable.

 

 Not that light though.
