Multebear-
Do you have the DT R460 rims? Are the wheel decals easily removable? I just ordered a set and was curious. Thanks.

I think so. This os after a few seconds of scratching. But I like the decals. Makes it easier to spot the U shaped profile.

The Kinlin XR22T is the same price as the R460 and a better rim as there is an offset version.

The Flo30 is different to all the other rims measured as it has a proper aero profile. that is why it is heavier. Aero trumps weight even is there are hills on your ride.

OP there is no such thing as a climbing set. Lighter wheel are no better at climbing than slightly heavier ones. The C24 are not that light either and they are not even close to stiff.

As I said in the first post, the kinlin rims are hard to beat as am overall package.

Thanks Multebear! I was thinking about painting them, but I'm not sure what it will look like.
