Mark’s PowerTap SL+ rebuild and matching DT Swiss 240s front wheel

Mark sent this used PowerTap SL+ hub to be re-laced into a new wheel.   The hub was 32h but he wanted something quick enough to do a bit of racing on so we used the Kinlin XR-270 rim and bladed Aerolite spokes.

I also built a matching front wheel using a 24 hole DT Swiss 240s hub and the same excellent rim and spokes.  The ‘Radial’ version of the 240s hub has great flange stiffness and will result in a really solid, durable wheel.

At 1688 grams for the pair this wheelset is lighter than most ‘factory’ wheels AND it measure how hard you’re pushing on the pedals :-)
