DT-Swiss R 1.1
available with 28 or 32 spokes (DT-Aero-Light)
Hubs 240s
Weight (including Skewers): 1.600 Grams
Price around 650 Euros
(German TOUR Magazine 02/04)
1600gm is pretty heavy
With the Euro at 1.28, that's US$832.00...expensive for such heavy wheels.
Ride lightly!

Ok, Weight is including skewers, but still... and they are low profile
I see no reason that this will be a megaseller

If one of those magasins they advertise in, gives them a good rating in some 'test', they will sell... trust me... I work in a bikeshop and when one of those crappy magasins does an article about some new part, some customers can't wait to order one...
