• Got hold of the first pair of dt swiss r460 rims today in 24h and 28h but they are seriously over weight at 485g. This is disapointing for a 23mm deep rim. At least madison have stock now.

  • seriously over weight

    485/460=1.05

    If 5% is seriously overweight in your book, I'm morbidly obese.

  • seriously over weight

    FWIW, DT Spline R24 wheels claimed weights vs. my scales, no skewers or tape:
    F 760/777
    R 965/1002
    so 3% over for the pair.

    Spokes are not as described in the catalogue either, DS rear are close enough to New Aero as described (I make them 3.2×1.05 vs. 3.3×1.1 for New aero), but everything else is 3.0×0.9, not the 2.3×1.2 you'd expect from the description "AeroComp". As far as I'm concerned, that's a win.
