Hi all, I am looking at the Giant Defy from last year. These seem good value given they come with the above wheelset, which would be my first set if carbon wheels. Any experience of how good/bad people have found them? The only thing rhat puts me off a little is the width of 17mm internal and 24mm external, which is only a little but narrower than the curent trends. However I wouldn't run the tubeless Giant tyres that are supplied.
How wide do the likes of Continent GP4000S size up on the rims?
Oh what difference a wheel makes. DT Swiss has a reputation for making really top quality wheels. What has always attracted me to DT is their ability to produce a very competitive wheel whilst still being very traditional in appearance. The launch of the Tricon range of wheels marks a significant change in the design philosophy of DT, “the wheel - re-invented”? Well frankly no, but they have redesigned theirs which is exciting enough for me.
The Tricon 1450’s actually weighed in below the claimed weight and at £950 are a pricey but not outrageous offering. The Tricon design incorporates lots of new features to the wheel. The biggest departure from the old 240 hub is that the Tricon is a two piece design. The flanges are separate pieces which are bolted to the main hub body. This means that the bearing house is isolated from the effects of spoke tension. A nice idea which should give a much more precise bearing interface resulting in a stiffer axle and smoother roll. The spokes are both double butted and bladed.
They are also threaded on both ends supposedly creating a “playfree” connection. Arranged in an open crows foot pattern these high tech spokes should give a stiffness advantage over last year’s pure radial design. Old crow medicine show discography rar.
Giant are getting into the wheel market, launching several sets for 2012 including the snappily monikered P-SLR1 tubeless-ready lightweight wheelset that puts in a strong performance across the board. The rims are scandium alloy and they're a little wider than normal.
They are held in neatly by “torx nipples” at both ends with a rim insert to create a bigger contact area making the overall weight lighter and seals the rim. Getting hold of spokes may be difficult initially until dealers hold stock but I have never snapped a spoke on a DT swiss wheel even on my MTB. The rim seal is definitely a really cool feature which helps make the Tricon wheels tubeless ready.
Valves are provided as well as a rim strip if you want to run tubes. Following the instructions just pop the valve in and the tyre on and pump, however I found this impossible to seat the tyre. Using the red rim strip and my trick was to half fit the valve then seat the tyre and then tightening the valve down on to the seated tyre bead worked a treat. With a little help from Stans No Tubes latex and the sizeable Joe Blow ACE ( I couldn’t get it to go with a standard Joe Blow) I had these wheels running tubeless in about 30mins with a pair of Vittoria Rubino Pro Slicks. The rear did go down after 1 ride and I must admit the prospect of faffing around with the pump again was too much so it has a tube in. The front however has been inflated at around 100 psi quite happily for two weeks.
These wheels are by no stretch the lightest on the market but by being so easy to run tubeless it does give a 100gram per wheel saving over running tubes which is most definitely a significant advantage. Straight out of the box and fitted up the true and balance is impeccable, I would go as far to say as the best I have ever used.
The spoke tension is tight and over several hundred miles hasn’t slipped at all using my highly accurate thumb and index finger gauge. Out on the road they are nothing short of sublime. Running tubeless makes the whole wheel more resonant and the buzz you get from these when up at speed is beautiful. They are stiff and assertive on the road giving you so much confidence in corners and when climbing out of the saddle.
As it's the season I even tried a brief bit of cobble action just for fun. Those from the east may know the Arger Fen cobbled river splash which even on slicks was handled very well.
My aggressive and inefficient thrashing up out the other side meant I could get the rim to touch the pads, in fairness this is always accentuated when wet and it was by no means my “normal” riding style. After the first few rides I was hoping to be able to say the freehub hasn’t skipped a beat, but it did, just the once mind. Otherwise the DT star ratchet has been impeccable. Running these on my Boardman Pro C has taken the weight down to sub 7.2 kilos, 15.7ish in old money.
