The patent expired so now anyone can use the design.Those are sexy and have a very star rachety looking freehub. Apparantly DT didn't have patents or maybe they expired, or maybe 44t engagement is different. Either way looks good and likely works good for a decent price.
Will you be measuring for true width or degree of engagement?
No, but I would hold them up to my monitor to see if the color is close.
The Specialized roval trail carbons are that weight and really strong. I have run 2 sets and am using the sl set on my slash. They are amazing. Check out loam rangers review of them. He put a set on an ebike and tried to break them. He couldn't ! I had an older set for like 8years and no issues! I even had a nasty crash on Mt. Lowe descending , broke 2 spokes on the rear and still bombed them out to the finish on my reign! I went into Incycle and asked If I could repair it , they called speshy for advise. Guess what! They sent me a new one, FREE! And the set was like 4 years old!
Thanks I’ll check those out.
I currently have a set control carbon 29 for my slash. Not the sl's. They are in the 1500 gm range actually lighter! I have ridden them through everything. no issues!
Going to Worldwide Cyclery tomorrow to order hubs, I have my spokes and nips picked out already. Now just need to decide on rims.
