Long-Term Review – DFS Carbon 60/65mm Wheelset
After 6/7 months of consistent use it’s time to share a proper long-term review. I bought these back in April

Specs
Rims: T1000 UXL
Front: 60mm – 400g
Rear: 65mm – 423.6g
25mm inner / 32.4mm outer width
UV profile
Hubs: H-Works SR270 – 276g 20 spoke holes from and rear
Spokes: 5.1mm wide bladed carbon,

Actual Weight: 1231g (vs 1256g estimated) — This was light when I bought them now these are likley considered heavy afet only 6 monts l :lol:

I bought direct from DFS Carbon after chatting with Angler Wang, the owner. He was persistent in saying he had a quality product — and to be fair, he backed it up. Super responsive, answered all my questions, and gave me confidence to go ahead.
I paid via bank transfer (better rate, no PayPal fees) — and yeah, I did wonder if anything would actually turn up . But everything arrived perfectly packaged and bang on time

Hi Sander

What’s your opinion on how the 25mm internal U/V rims handle crosswinds, and, is there a material benefit in going with the R2 hub vs the H-Works 270? I’ve been eyeing up a set of wheels with similar specs to yours, albeit currently speced with the U-shaped 25mm internal with Zara at Zen. My decision is coming down to whether the U-shaped rims are an improvement over the U/V shaped in crosswinds (always seems to be windy in SW London) and if the R2 is worth the extra dosh over the 270. I’ll be getting in touch with Angler too hence posting here.

First post so apologies if I’ve messed up the formatting with included your original comment quoted! Sorry if this is already covered somewhere and if so feel free to point me there, but I’ve read all comments on this thread and those for Zen and XMCS so my brains a bit frazzled!

Cheers
Liam
