Picked up the the new 11spd WI CLD hubbed wheel, built by my LBS - Two Wheeler Dealer in Hayden. I had it built using DT Aero Comp spokes again.
Mounting the CenterLock rotor (Shimano Saint RT99 ICE 203mm) is a real snap, so I anticipate always removing it for packing and traveling to minimize the risk of bending the rotor. FWIW, this rotor+lockring weights 6gms less than the IS/6-bolt XT ICE rotor when you include all the mounting bits. The 135mm CLD hub is some 100gms lighter than the 145mm Mi6.
Surprise, my old TL-HG15 tool fits the lockring splines, but bottoms out internally before reaching the ring (caveat to others). Hence, new tool on order (Park Tool FR-5G Cassette Lockring Tool with Guide Pin) which should be the equivalent to Shimano's TL-LR15 (current tool used for centerlock and cassettes).
