Why These Wheels Are a Safer Bet than Carbon. Best Alloy Wheelset? DT SWISS PR 1400 DICUT OXIC 

Thanks for the video. I actually enjoyed it.

Great video! Very interesting indeed…

Make sure you take extra brake pads for the oxic wheels as the recommended pads wear out quickly especially under higher than average braking loads.

btw you can use Swisside yellow king pads. They are very soft and wear out quick but this is actually good because they wear out the carbon wheels very slowly AND they dissipate heat better.

Thank You. Very informative. That size tyres did you put on the wheels?

You should try Ridenow TPU-tubes with them - a lot more convenient than tubeless, potentially even slightly lighter, about the same rolling resistance and awesome "whooshing" sound

Mine came 2 days back i think i did a nice choice it looks good to me

Got exactly those on a bike I bought second hand. I live in Holland, so I don't brake much, but they're slightly warn in colour now (approx 20k) and a few zilver stripes on the rim where I probably had a little stone in my brake pad or something. Also own a set of vision team 35 comp sl, that I've bought new for another bike a couple of months ago and those already went shiny silver alloy within a few rides.

Had these on my ex's bike, while the Fulcrum Racing Zero Nite (almost the same as Campy Shamal Mille) on mine. The Fulcrums felt just a bit better (snappier/stiffer), they probably are the best alloy climbing wheels out there - but the DTs are definitely not far off.

hi! awesome review, thanks for that. one question tho, can you please tell more about ratchet upgrade? what kit was used and etc. thanks a lot.

Hi ! Nice video ... These wheels interest me a lot. I'm looking for wheels with V brakes and versatile. I rarely ride in the mountains but on hilly terrain during long distance rides (I'm a fresh PBP finisher ;) ). I hesitate between these wheels and the PRC 1400 35 mm. I'm not a very powerful runner...I ride around 25/26 km/h on my hilly plain rides with old aluminium Mavic ksyrium pro sl. Any advise ? Thanks !

I have Aforce AL33 alloy rim brake wheels, they are 1580 grams at 32.5mm deep, but the rim shape is toroidal which makes them more aero. They are quite wide at 26.2mm outer and 19.6mm inner width. I like how they sound when i ride them. The braking surface was created using a method called Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) which sounds quite similar to the OXIC braking surface of the DT SWISS PR. I do not hope that it is the same, because on my wheels they seem to not last very long. I do also have to say that the PEO braking surface not lasting is a rather notorious issue for the Aforce AL33 wheelset, so it could be a wheel set/brand specific issue.

any change since version 2018? I own the 21, my rear wheels has always been making an annoying sound coming from the points where hubs are crossing. A true pain in the arse solved by applying some thick oil but it makes the wheels dirtier and if you wash the bike you need to re-apply.

I have the same wheel set with Continental GP 5000 25 mm tubeless tires mounted and I absolutely love it so far! The brake performance together with the Swissstop blue brake pads is absolutely superb for rim brakes also in wet conditions. Which tire size are mounted on in the video? also 25 mm or 28mm?

Thanks for the video! I have considered these wheels for replacing my zero nite. One concern, if the rim is 18mm inner and 21.5mm outer width, it must be a pretty tiny construction for the load of the pads? Have you considered the 21mm hight rim version, its lighter. But again, less material to absorb the heat on a decent?

@klein-concept what do you think of the Mavic's exalite rims?

Very good video and you give us good explanation about the wheels. I run with fulcrum racing 4 (good for their money, 400 euros - 35 profile 1700 weight gives you stability on the straights). Why should I choose dt and not let's say shamal camp (more expensive for sure if we don't consider the price). Thanks.

Have you had a chance to compare brake performance of carbon wove allow wheels? Is it much worse on carbon wheels?

thanks for the review! I am thinking to buy them now, Can you say a little bit how they are serving now after 1 year?

I'm traveling to the Julian Alps in august. I have ICAN carbon wheels right now and Vision Team 30 on older bike. Front wheel is good but rear is not doing so well. I was thinking if it would be a good idea to use alloy in front and carbon in rear ? Funny how we both have those Vision wheels and my GF has the same DT Swiss as you do😅 😅

I am thinking of these wheels for my Caad12 bike but am concerned about how they would go with a heavier rider? What size tyres are you running?

Hi, what’s the internal and external width of these wheels?

Hi im planning to buy like this. What is the stock hubs 240 is it 18t? Coz im planning to upgrade to 54t

I wanted to buy Hunt aero wheels but I am really interested in the DT Swiss Oxics because of their increased braking power. My current brakes don't work so well when it rains.

nice wheels

I just bought these - u rum em tubeless? whats your tire width?

What tire width do you have on in the video?

Hey man, such an amazing and informative video. Must say there aren't that many reviews online about the wheels and I just saw your video since I had last looked up these wheels online and was great to see another unseen video haha :D I am also looking to upgrade/change my stock wheels and these look like a very decent pair. May I just ask how do the wheels feel with both climbing and accelerating? Do they feel snappy and stiff? And in general would you recommend them? anything to criticise about them? Thanks in advance and happy riding! :)

I am wandering whether there is an EXP ratchet or older gen?

Hello. i am looking for buying the same wheelset, how about long term use..? Is the rim track still black? 👍

Could you please review ER 1400 DICUT?

How is the squeak from the rear crossed spokes?

speaking of alloy rims i wish H+Son rims are lightweight🤪

hed ardennes black nice wheels too but much to exotic/expensive in europe...

Got same wheels. The hub are pretty quiet 😢
