DT Swiss Wheels?
Hello, BikeForums!
I'm in the market for a new set of medium-profile carbon tubular wheels, and I came across the new DT Swiss RC 38 Spline T wheelset, which, in comparison with brands like Zipp and enve, are very reasonably priced, and much easier to get where I am.
From everything I've heard, Zipp, enve, and Lightweight are the who's who of wheels, but how much as a recreational rider am I giving up by going with a wheel like the DT Swiss? If I'm realistically getting 85% of the performance upgrade of a higher-end wheel (coming from Mavic Ksyriums) for half the cost, then I'm happy with that. If, however, DT Swiss actually just makes ****ty, unreliable products, then obviously that's something I'd want to know. In past years DT Swiss rims were rebranded Richeys, I believe, but apparently on at least this wheel it's a house design, so it could be interesting.
So, any word from the BF crowd?
