I had a similar decision to make - ended up with the Hunts.

I had a look on the [u][url= https://www.huntbikewheels.com/collections/nearly-new ]'nearly new up to 40% off'[/url][/u] section of the website and got a set of trail wide non-boost 650b for £230.
That was a brand new front and a very lightly used rear - in fact only mark I can see is where a valve was fitted.

Had been looking there for ages until they came up on new years eve.

Is this really being asked?

DT, no brainer - head and shoulders.

I hear straight pull spokes are a PITA when you come to true your wheels 3 years later and you turn the nipple and whole spoke turns.

DT Swiss for me, Moonglu do 481's on hope hubs for 485 if you want to stretch a bit further for a uk builder.

UPDATE :

I got the DT's.

From Fitwheels.eu.

Only had a short test ride on them so far, but first impressions = AWESOME.

I do love a massively vague review from someone who’s just shelled out a load of cash 😉

To be fair, they did say they had only done a test ride.
But yeah, I'd like more info too.
Watching with interest.
