Thanks, I will be interested if you are letting go of yours.
Not too worried about that, I can always buy some spokes and have them laced up. More than anything, the wider bladed spoke looks nicer, but these CL's are much stiffer than any other full carbon wheel I've handled, so there's some benefit to just leaving them alone.
Is the ratchet and the rest of the internals interchangeable with better DT stuff to upgrade them, or is there no crossover in parts/design?

It's interchangeable

You mean buy some new aero spokes and lace them up to the rims? Not a great idea tbh from a functional and re-sale perspective, also means significantly more cost.AW84 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 12, 2018 7:00 amNot too worried about that, I can always buy some spokes and have them laced up.

Stiff, Light, Aero - Pick Three!!

also, you will save 15g from round spokes to aero ones, and minimal aero benefits, for how much, like 200$ swap ?
I think the best combination for the price/weight/aero/stiffness would be the CL50 + ratchet upgrade and even then.
a 1515g claimed weight for 50mm disc wheels is still pretty nice. If I don't go custom build, they are first on my list.

Hi, I just got some CL50 (used with about 500km) for a great price!
Rim brake version: 645g front and 839g rear (1484g total, without valves but with tubeless tape)
As expected no comparison possible with my previous aluminium box rim wheels.
Incredible stiff, great dry braking (not wet weather tested yet) and wide rim that just looks and feels great!
Even at retail prices I believe have much much greater value than CLX50 and really a better wheel than the metrons 55 in any condition.
Cheers

Would you pick these or the 303FC with V9 hubs if you had both and wanted to sell a set?
