Reserve42|49 TA DT Swiss 240 Carbon Disc Brake Wheelset(Return to Product Page)

I eventually got these when they went on a sale after months of research. Compared to most other established brands out there these are some of the widest, in terms of internal width. With no system limit and steel spokes they are built like wheels for gravel although they are advertised for road use. Great lifetime warranty from Reserve and class leading cross wind stability. You can definitely get much lighter and cheaper wheels (even deeper) from the DTC brands these days but they usually have more restrictive system limits, use carbon spokes, and don't provide similar warranty. I think they are a great alternative to the Roval CLX III, much cheaper while being about the same weight (especially if you compare the DT180 hub variant) and as a bonus using easy to source and replace steel spokes. And they fit great on a Tarmac SL8.

I bought these wheels for my Colnago C 64 and they worked perfectly for wider tires and under any road condition. The DT Swiss cassette body allows you to change to whether you're running Shimano micro spline, Sram XD or Shimano HD, which gives you a great deal of flexibility on the Grupo that you're going to run with the wheel set.

These wheels are light and fast and handle the crosswinds much better than my old DT Swiss ERC 1100 wheels did. Mounted the new Conti GP 5000 S TR in 35mm width on them, and the tires measure out to 38mm, so the 25mm internal width works well for this range. Bought them on sale for under $2K, which made them a great value at that price.

So glad I pulled the trigger on these! I switched out from a wider set that came with my Canyon Aeroad. I had a couple of buddies who already owed these give me feedback and they were spot on: they just keep rolling! Highly recommend.
