Going to do a new wheel build soon with some Reynolds 46mm carbon clinchers, was leaning towards DT 240 hubs since the 190s are so damn spendy. Saw somewhere they're coming out with white spokes too, anybody know when they'll be available?

Any other suggestions out there from my fellow monkeys?

Haven't decided yet actually, I've been away traveling a bunch lately. Still leaning towards 240s. I think the Kings have too much drag personally, I like their headsets, but not sold on the hubs anyway.

White is so this year, I'm on to the next thing now, kind of over the white. I'm not sure what's next. Maybe good old fashioned black.

What about Industry 9s?
I'm super into silver parts. I have been running my Deep V on the front with a DA hub just because it's shiny. Love silver.

I need to post pics of Julie's new bike now that I think of it. Lots of silver.

Edit - I'm not sure I like the complex look of I9s.

hey buddy, check your PM's
Sorry! Been traveling, I'll reply tonight!
:)

Loco- I9 has some new hubs out, they're regular-flanged, not the crazy setup, so you can get them for different spokings. Plus about 18 million colors. Same super-fast engagement, easier to build. Kind of leaning that way honestly, I've had Kings, had DTs, might be nice to try something new...maybe I'll do white spokes. :)
Post up pics of her bike! I've been getting into silver a bit lately too, bar/stem/post/wheels are hot.
