Been thinking about a DT Swiss XM1501 Spline One wheelset as a lighter weight alternative for my Stumpjumper (currently 650Plus). A dealer has suggested a custom build with DT Swiss components - 240s hubs and XM481 rims - would be lighter and better.
My question is: what hubs and rims are on the XM1501? Would this custom build be better?
DT Swiss website has the hub as "240" and spokes "straightpull" so this sounds like a 240s - and in the hubs section a "240" is not on offer. Is 240 a cheaper option for wheelsets or does XM1501 have the 240s?
The rims are not specified as far as I can see for the XM1501. In the products section on rims for this size/width there is only the XM481 and the much cheaper M502. My guess would be that the "XM" is significant and the XM1501 wheelset has the XM481 rim - does it?
Any information gratefully received!
