    Roval Traverse EL (2010)

    I have a set fitted to my Epic marathon CLICKY

    I was set to buy some Roval Conrtoles, but although light (1350g-ish) they were very flexy and only really suitable as an out and out raceday wheel.
    The Traverse EL is branded as they're all mountain rims, so they're built a little more sturdily, but they're still approx 1550g and have the bonus of DT Swiss hubs and straight pull spokes, tubeless ready out of the box.

    Also check HERE and HERE for some reviews.
  • How about these, spotted them just after I purchased the white pair for £150 more lol but still i'd rather have the white ones. Cheap at twice the price.
