DT Swiss FR 2350s in white? They don't come in white.. Are you talking about EX 1750s? But even if you were, DT Swiss doesn't sell them with a 150mm hub option.

I believe that you should have said you and I. Your grammar is the equivilant of pinkshirts when he drinks and posts. :cheers:
Actually he is correct. You and me is the correct usage.
If it was singular the sentence would not work as I but rather me.

Hey Rufus, me, my brother and my friend just bought some decals from you. Two sets of boxxer decals, and two sets of Intense decals.

I must say, they came out really nice. Thanks! I'll post pics when they are done.

Nice, thanks for letting me know who you are on here. All the guys that I make decals for here never tell me their forum name so I don't know who they are.
I can't wait to see the pics.
Enjoy!

Good luck with that. You arent even working at a shop. That is going to cost you extreme bills. And the whole blue and white might be a tad bit hard to accomplish unless you have like 3 grand to blow. But I am not h8ing, it sounds like a nice build beside the DT rims.

the old 6.1's would be thrashed after a weekend at Diablo. I put 17 dents in my rear 6.1 in one day of practice on the Utah course two years ago.

What kind of tire pressure were you running? I've snapped 6 spokes on my rear wheel at USO, before even putting 1 dent in either rim. I was running around 30-35 psi all year.

I have a 2008 Wheelset, if that even matters.

Every 5.1 or 6.1 that I have touched has dented severely, folded after the first run and/or cracked. Multiple pressures, properly tensioned spokes, good tires, etc.
They suck for anything other than race run.
I am not fond of the 1750's or the 2350's for anything other than race run as well.
721's and 729's any day, all day.

I guess I have good luck? I am not gonna lie, as of now, there are about 10 dents in my rear wheel. But, I haven't seen any signs of dents in the beginning of the season. Sure they dent, but I don't think its as bad as some say.

But yes, a pair of 729s would be ideal if your worried about denting your rims.

Anybody here anything good about the new Rims on the 09 2350 wheelset with the white decals. I think they are called the FR600s. They look like 823s in red. They're supposed to be a much harder anti-dent alloy. Maybe I can warrantee my dented rims for a set of those?

You can't warrantee dented rims, especially for new ones.
They are designed to dent, that is what they do, DT Swiss has even publicly stated that.
The FR600's do look pretty good but I will be sticking with mavic.
Just think, $80-$90 now or $30-$40 every couple of times.

My wording is retarded. When I said warrantee I meant buy replacements. I may consider getting some 729s. I could probably have them powdercoated red if I was that anal about color. Then I'd get custom DT Swiss decals made for my rims. haha jk.

I might look into some 729s. Thanks
