Hamish – Custom polished DT Swiss 240s hubs, CX-Ray spokes, Kinlin XR-270 silver rims
I custom polished a pair of DT Swiss 240s hubs to match the silver CX-Ray spokes and silver Kinlin XR-270 rims. I love these all-silver builds, I think they look classic yet have all of the performance of a modern high-tech wheelset. These wheels are destined for a red steel Serotta so we used red Wheelworks decals on the hubs and rims.
The actual wheelset weight is 1444 grams; that’s 150-200g lighter than similar priced Campag, Fulcrum or Mavic wheelsets.

Beauties. What would be the max rider weight for this wheelset?

Hi Athos. For this exact wheelset there would be no problems up to 90kg. Using stiffer rear spokes would make it suitable for a heavier rider if needed.
This pair of wheels is still one of my favorites that I’ve ever built – I think the polished DT hubs with the red decals look awesome :-)
