Excel Sports Swiss Threat Front Wheel Radial 28 Hole

Enjoy the precision of Swiss made rims, spokes and hubs hand built by our experts. DT rims and hubs are some of the lightest on the market. While lightweight, the DT rims and hubs also have a fantastic reputation for durability. Enjoy the ride quality and ease of maintenance inherent to hand built wheels. Built by our highly experienced staff of DT certified wheel builders here in Boulder, Colorado. Skewer and rim strip not included.

This is the same wheel as the standard Swiss Threat except features a radial lacing pattern to DT 240S Radial hubs(slightly stronger flages for this lacing pattern) - saves some weight and is more aero.

I love these wheels, they ride so much better than the stock Shimano wheels that came on my Giant. They have given me new enthusiasm for riding. Feels like a new bike! The ride is great - hard to describe other than just plain smooth. They are very light and this has made a noticeable difference in how the bike climbs. One of the main reasons I bought them is because they use 28 regular spokes, so if I break one 40 miles from the car on a cold day, I can true it up enough to get back. With some other low-spoke wheels, if you break a spoke, you are walking. Also, pretty much any bike shop will have replacement spokes. The build quality appears excellent. Perhaps they are not as aero as low-spoke or deep-rim designs, but you would have to spend alot more money to find a lighter, better wheel. Don’t be fooled by the regular, traditional look of these wheels - they rock!
