DT Swiss EX471 / Shimano XT wheels 27.5 / 650b MTB wheels

Brand new unused wheels handbuilt by me for a customer who pulled out...

Built up for a 27.5-inch / 650b MTB project, but surplus to needs: DT Swiss EX471 rims laced to Shimano Deore XT hubs (standard quick release) with 32 x DT Competition spokes per wheel and using the official DT Swiss PHR washers and squorx alloy nipples. Includes QR skewers. Total weight: 1909g.

New price is about £300, though I'd like a quick sale, so asking £150 delivered.

Dibs - (for a buddy - will likely know later today if that's ok?)

False alarm - no spare cash at the mo. Carry on and have a bump for a beautiful wheelset.

Cheers, no problem.

Can't understand why these haven't sold yet...

£130 delivered anyone?

Crazy... are the QRs replaceable for a thru-axle on the XT hubs? If not, that would be my only suspicion.

Apparently not.

I suspect you are correct.

650 front with QR? Hmmm

Actually I have the same front hub available in 15mm thru-axle which I can re-build onto that rim instead of the QR version. Could do the same for the rear (12mm thru axle) if anyone is interested?

How are the nipples different on these rims? Is special care required re-building 'em?

Also... Are these the m8000 hub? & Where are you based

They're nipples and washers that come with the rims. DT insists on the builder using these and nothing else with the rims. I'm a wheel-builder by trade, so re-building these won't be anything testing :-)

They are M8000 hubs and I'm based in Sawley near Derby/Notts

Last drop - £120 for the QR hubs, or £150 to rebuild onto thru-axle hubs.

you still got these ?
