Two mates from Auckland replacing the same wheelset, weighing the same and wanting the same wheel attributes…right down to decal colour!

These two wheelsets use the DT Swiss 240s hubs.  The Ultegra wheelsets these are replacing had become worn and no amount of servicing is able to bring worn bearing cups back to life.  The sealed bearing DT Swiss hubs will last for years because of their large bearings and when the bearings finally go south the hubs can be taken back to 100% performance simply by replacing them.

The rims are Kinlin XR-270s laced 24×0 front and 28×2 rear.  Spokes are bladed DT Swiss Aerolites and spoke nipples are black DT Swiss alloy.

These wheels will be a huge performance improvement over the previous Ultegra wheelsets and will last a long, long time.
