The HED c2/pacenti/dt swiss rr440 + CK hubs + spokes is a $1k build. Wondering if I should sell the Rolfs while they're new so it can go towards the nicer wheelset.
Do you know that for sure?
On their website their 2 upper end hubsets specifically say "manufactured in the USA" and have rear steel axels and Ti freehub bodies typical of White Industries. But the USA claim is not made on the 3.0 set from the Echelon or their lowest set, neither has a Ti freehub and the 3.0 rear has an Al axel.
