rr421

this is asymetrical though?

Is the cheaper R470db basically just a shallower version of the RR521db ? lighter too. must be missing something.

I suppose the RR521db, even though as a rim its heavier, will overall build a stronger lighter wheel? ~~the approx (9mm*32) 29cm of extra spokes probably weigh more than 70g. I'm guessing here.~~

I do like the DTSwiss rims though, got a set of Campag record pista hubs laced to RR511db on the De Rosa.

Do you have an opinion on the DT Swiss track hubs?

@ObiWomKenobi I recently picked up a DT swiss hub for a friend, it is not laced yet but they seem pretty solid and the mirror finish looks fantastic
