Dura Ace 7900 C24 + Powertap G3?

Chrisrus13

The fact I like my DA wheels has been the only thing stopping me from moving to 11 speed for a while.

I'm now also in the market for a power meter which got me thinking.... Would I be able to buy the G3 and swap the hubs over? Giving me a power meter and 11 speed in one swoop.

I assume I will just need new spokes, an evening of research and another one to do it?

What you guys think?

Cheers

It is possible... nipples need to be recycled as they are bigger than standard and DA rim specific. You need a 20 H powertap possibly with holes for J bend spokes to make your life easier.

Just moved to Solihull myself...

The brake tracks on those rims is pretty thin - hence they wear out pretty quickly. They are also slender by modern standards. The best part of the DA wheels is the hub.......

I'd just build the PT with some modern wider rims like the Pacenti SL23s TBH
