Mathias 2020/07/20

Hi, Can I get a quote for a R65 front wheel, 20 spokes, and R88 rear wheel, 24 spokes with DT Swiss 350 hubs or with Bitex (BX301F / BX301R) hubs, drilled holes, no valve stems, no rim tape? Thanks a lot!


LightBicycle 2020/07/21

Hi Mathias, I need to confirm some details before we jump into placing the order. 1. What caliper do you use? The widest area of the R65 700C rim brake is 28.03mm, And it's 30mm for R88. So I want to make sure that the max rim width fits your bike. 2. Here's the hub list for all the hubs we can get, the most used Bitex hubs are RAF10/RAR9. Thanks, Lightbicycle

LightBicycle 2020/07/11

Hi Jay, The cost for the 88mm deep wheelset 700C that built with DT 350 hubs is USD691.2/pair. The cost would be USD560.2/pair if built with Novatec hubs. DT Swiss hubs are more durable. Thanks, Lightbicycle
