Fewer spokes on '06. I don't mind the slightly more weight on the DT since I am not traveling via air with it and 2 or 3 pounds to throw it in the trunk of my car isn't majore. My mom is using one of the DTs and she lives in coastal Florida right ON the water. NO issues so far with corrosion. I did spray it well with Boeshield to help ahead of time.

Our first shipment of bikes had 32 hole front and rear wheels, it seemed like overkill so we reduced it to 28 hole for the rest of the 2005's. The 2006's have 24H front and 28H rear, however we moved to an Orlox V shaped rim, which are much stronger than our 2005's box shaped rims (V rims look better too)

Thanks,
Yan
