DT Swiss from Bicycle Wheel Wherehouse
i'm thinking of picking up a set of DT Swiss RR 1.1 with 240 hubs from BWW. Seems like a great deal at $569 for the set. Has anyone else dealt with these guys??? Ashe.

Everyone I have pointed in their direction so far has been very pleased with their service and prices.
BWW is hard to beat.

Don't know if you're a DIY'er, but overhauling the 240s hubs is kinda tough. Regular maintenance is tool-free, but if you're overhauling the hub and replacing the bearings you need special tools from DT Swiss.

PS: I do prefer regular Shimano bearings, though, with an easy annual cleaning and repacking.
