So with my new bike to me, Trek Slash, I was looking for a nice light dependable wheel set to shed some weight and use them for a bit more mellow rides. Well you know how it goes. Once in the chunk always in the chunk. I have about 6 rides on them now and am totally impressed. Light, stiff and dependable so far. I have beat the tar out of these and are still feeling like new. These wheels are 1450 grams with Dt swiss 350s on them. I did order and upgraded the ratchet system . I watched the wheel shootout video by The Loam Wolf and pulled the trigger. Glad I did. These wheels are great! Don't let the weight spook you these wheels can handle it. Loam Wolf put the sl models on a full blown ebike and and could not break them. The sl's are an amazing 1250 grams! Crazy!
 
I have run several sets of Roval carbon wheels and they have all been great and required basically zero maintenance. All have had DT hubs or Roval hubs with DT internals. I just bought a set for my gravel bike and shed over 2 lbs in spinning weight. I also still have the Traverse SL 38 Fatties(27.5 x 38mm) that I ran for several years on my Hightower and now on my Ti hardtail. I bought them used and have beat the crap out of them and they still run great. They have rubber plugs over the spoke holes instead of rim tape and they seal perfectly.
