If you take a garden shot and post on STW then the SX are good. If you actually ride it…
😛
To be fair my bike does look fantasic on STW and in the shed…. but it looks even better covering in mud being hammered on a trail, where is spends a good number of hours every weekend.
When I was looking, my choice was either SX's or DT1750's.
To be honest if your looking for value for money you can't beet the hope/DT/Mavic option. I got mine from Merlin and I think they were half the price of the SX's and very reliable (although the SX's have stayed straighter, hand on heart). A bargin of a wheelset.
But the orignal post was about sterngth and weight and the SX's (even with out the looks) win on those grounds, add in cost and its the hopes everytime. Add in loud ticking noise mind… 🙂
