Dt Swiss X 1900 Spline 275 Cl Ta 15/100mm Frontwheel Review

Replay

Looking at the marketplace and diverse surveys, we saw that most mountain bikers choose alloy rims to build their wheel sets. DT Swiss rims are known and valued for their low weight, high quality and strength. Topnotch blend rims are all welded today and so are ours. In combination with our unique PHR nipple-spoke interface washer, which distributes the load on a large area, we were able to reduce the wall thickness, keeping the rotational mass low. To meet the requirements of the various fields of awarding we developed specific rim profiles.

XR 391

The XC-workhorse in our portfolio, the XR 391, has been adult to create a snappy accelerating wheel. Therefore the focus was set up on a low weight, which is the reason, why it has 25mm rim inner width. This contributes to a low inertia moment.

XM 481

The XM 481 is our all mountain rim. Our goal was to develop a xxx-mm wide alloy rim, which strikes the balance betwixt weight and durability. Like the EX 511 the XM 481 has an ASTM ranking 4, but its max system weight is lighter (10 kg), at 120 kg. This difference comes from slightly thinner sidewalls, enabling weight reduction for efficient acceleration, around 50 g.

EX 511

The EX 511 is 1 of the toughest rims out at that place, not just because of the welded joint, just also considering of the specially developed rim profile. The rim is designed for modernistic Enduro mount biking. Additionally, although it wasn't developed for this purpose, some of the fastest downhill racers use information technology for racing. All this to say: the EX 511 is strong, really stiff! With its xxx-mm inner width it'due south wider than its sibling, the famous EX 471.

When information technology comes to the heart of the wheel, the hub, the selection criteria are quite clear. Reliable, lightweight and easy to maintain - all factors which DT Swiss hubs stand for. I of the virtually used hubs in custom built wheels is the DT Swiss 350, which shares the DNA of the famous 240.

The 350 hub

The DT Swiss 350 is equipped with our famous Ratchet Organisation. What makes the Ratchet Organization hubs truly unique is the fact that all teeth of the ii ratchets appoint simultaneously and create a large contact surface to transmit huge torque. The fact that the whole forepart face engages, creates much smaller point loads. The consequence is the legendary reliability of the Ratchet System.
Thanks to the no-tool concept, the hub is very like shooting fish in a barrel to maintain and the free hub torso can exist converted without the use of whatever tools.
For the new 1700 SPLINE, the 350 was upgraded by a 36T Ratchet SL system (SL stands for super lightweight accomplished by machined-out ratchets). It reduces the engagement bending to 10 degrees, which we believe is the sugariness spot in terms of reliability, weight and ability transmission.

Many wheel builders take trusted DT Swiss spokes for decades. DT Swiss has a long experience in producing low-cal and resilient spokes. 1 of the most popular ones is the DT Swiss Competition spoke 2.0/one.8 mm.

DT Competition

The competition spoke is ane of the almost versatile spokes in the DT Swiss spoke range. DT Competition gets its special strength from a specific cold forging process. This process, developed and patented past DT Swiss, is used to double-barrel the diameter of the spokes. Oscillating hammers rotate around the wire.
As a consequence, the spoke material is densified and its diameter is reduced. This common cold forging process hardens the material while ensuring that it retains its practiced ductility. The result is a spoke with a slim butted department for low weight and a strong caput and thread for durability. This leads to an extremely high durability and furthermore, thanks to the thinner middle department, information technology is lighter than a spoke with a abiding diameter of 2.0 mm.

Reliable components are not enough to create to a reliable wheel - the final step is decisive.
The way a cycle is built is what turns quality components into a quality wheel.

Like all wheels adult by DT Swiss, the 1700 SPLINE is assembled past hand. With the highest precision and the smallest possible tolerance, which until now would never be reached by a conventional wheel building machine, hundreds of wheels are assembled every week in Switzerland, Poland, Asia, and in America – by hand.
