    cup and cone bearings, as long as you care fo them and service them periodically they are fine. Great wheelsets the M975...... I run XTR hubs on DT rims and they are great.

    Difference is that yours has SP spokes, which some say are not as good, but agai, if you're not really heavy, and don't take the pi55 with them they are great!!!

    Thanx dude, ive wanted a set of these for ages, but couldnt decide wheather to bite the bullet, will have to watch this space i suppose.There are so many products out there that its hard to know what to get!!I figured if they are shimano and xtr the quality would be the same as they were 10 years ago when i used to race.

    Whats the point in asking AFTER you bought them?

    Well, keep them, they will last ages if maintained properly, and are a top notch wheelset, I'd have them over the likes of others.... :)
