They're the light ones with the DT240 hub internals. Bargain. I've had some for three years and they've never needed truing. Not bad for a 1500g wheelset.

Is that using today's 40% discount code TT107?

I think they've been selling for £360 for a while now, before the new model comes out. My LBS gave a further discount.

I agree, great wheels, I've had them years and never needed truing (I did have a spoke fall out once though). Feel light and fast too...

Until you break a spoke, when you're stuck trying to find straight pull spokes. My SLs were alright, but no better.

For £360 you could build lighter and stronger. The 240s are nice, but they're the best part by far!

Obviously make sure you have some cash left for Christmas, but Evans are currently selling these, with the 10& discount code, for £270. The AL is £206. You can always add cashback onto that as well.

Can't see much beating that for value.

That's an absolute bargain! Got mine about 4 months ago, have given them quite a pasting already, and having been warned by nay sayers they're flexy etc. I can tell you they're much tougher than they have any right to be for a wheelset of their weight (1550g is accurate, but doesn't include rimstrips or valves for running tubeless).

Mine were £324 (extra 10% off in my LBS) and I thought I got a good deal, for £270 from Evans, well nothing else comes close for the money really, not when you factor in the weight, the decent 26mm wide tubeless rims, the DT 240 hub internals etc.

Then the Evans code "10offdeal"

Cash back comes a cashback website when you click through to Evans, giving 3% (£6.95) back.
