Unless I don’t let him get his 120 hours. That gives me till he’s 21.

New wagon wheels rocked up. No rush getting the tyres mounted as I'm racing the hardtail this weekend anyway 
. Chucked them on the scales and they came in at 1460g for the pair, with tape/valves. Bloody light.

Specs here, https://www.dtswiss.com/en/products/wheels-mtb/cross-country/xrc-1200-spline/xrc-1200-spline-25/
Basically a 25mm internal width carbon wheelset. Going to use them for trail use as I'm using Crests for my XC racing.
Got them from a US eBay seller for a price that was too good to pass up, even with taxes/shipping

Amazing. What was the landed cost?

They're the wheels on my HT. I don't have a huge amount of experience on 'modern' wheels but I love them. They spin up stupidly fast and track really well. There's nearly 4000km on my set and they still dead straight.

@slider_phil That is amazingly light. My road wheels weigh more and they are carbon Campagnolo Bora One @ 1485gm per pair.

You want to know what my wife thinks or the actual cost?
The biggest hidden cost was shipping as it looks like eBay is using their own freight forwarding company. But it was roughly 1700aud to my door. Expensive, but compare it to us US RRP of 2800 or any Enve wheels here (4k AUD
) then I'm pretty darn happy.

No that's a good price. Sweet!

Yeah it's insane, and I'm kinda a little worried about breaking them haha. My aluminium Crests are 1550g and I haven't broken those racing yet. But I have broken carbon rims in the past. Time will tell I guess.

I was thinking the same thing - my Onxy DT swiss road wheels weight about the same!

Mostly, high end road wheels are heavier than equivalent MTB as deep dish & braking surfaces.

A mate of mine has these and loves them. He also has Enves on the same bike, (too much money?) And rated the DT Swiss as better. Couldn't get them dinged or out of true when bashing them at the YY either.New wagon wheels rocked up. No rush getting the tyres mounted as I'm racing the hardtail this weekend anyway

That's a good endorsement. I was looking at the discounted Enve's on mountainbikesdirect but these where the better deal. Looking over the ocean to the US and theres a ton of happy users. Looking forward to giving them a spin
