| Duration Product Used: | 1 Year |
| Price Paid: | $60 |
| Purchased At: | eBay |
| Strengths: | Super strong and lace super tight without stripping, lightweight, stay true |
| Weaknesses: | None experienced |
| Similar Products Tried: | Other Swiss spokes |
| Bike Setup: | Custom built K2 Zed Team XC race frame with XT and Stylo Team drivetrain, Zokes MX Comp ETA 120, Avid BB7 discs, Raceface O\S carbon bar, Continental Vertical Pre 2.3 tires, etc |
| Bottom Line: | Could not believe my eyes. Got these in just the length I needed on eBay of all places. Used these spokes laced 3X to a Synchros Big Box 32H double eyelet wheelset after my Mavics bent going downhill and sent me flying. Have complete faith in the Super Comps and these rims because they have taken a pounding over all types of terrain and stayed true to the mm. Never had to retrue. Tensioned a bit more than usual and had to hard grease the threads to get them good and tight in the nipples but the work paid off. |

| Strengths: | Lightest DB spoke you can buy that are strong enough for disc brake use. Usually can be bought for the same price as Comps. |
| Weaknesses: | A little of spoke windup wneh building tthe wheels. Hard to find. |
| Similar Products Tried: | DT, Wheelsmith |
| Bike Setup: | Ellsworth Truth: X-0/XTR, DT 240S centerlock hubs w/Mavic XC717 rims, alloy nipples, Stans tubeless |
| Bottom Line: | These wheels come in at about 1500 gms and have been outstanding performers. The spokes are stiff enough that I do not notice any flex when climbing or descending. I'll repost after I have a few more miles on them. |
