This is the DT Swiss wheel set 240s Based XR1540 (1540grams)!
I just wanted to show you how it rotates or how long to be more precise with a little force put into them))) The thing is that in the hub are two closed bearings not like the XTR's (example) with "thrown everywhere bearings"
After ill put another Vid of the same wheel set but the rear, upgraded with the new 36-tooth ratchet system VS the 18-one that came with the rear hub, that changes the degree of engagement of your rear hub from 20 degrees to 10 degrees, which results in incredibly fast engagement and it's also 10gram lighter! OHHH and very important as you'll see in the new vid the sound it makes is unbelievably good))) And that's the main reason I'm making this vid)

  • when u upside down your bike the hydraulic brakes gets air inside. am i wrong?

  • @bhdrkrc No that's not true! The system is air-water tight! So there is not a chance of air going inside! Only if it has a leakage!

  • @bhdrkrc No air will not get inside, however, if there is ALREADY air inside the system it can travel down into the brake line or even into the caliper where it will have an adverse affect on your braking. As long as you don't leave it upside down for too long or pull the lever while it is upside down you should be fine.

  • isnt that harmful to keep the bike upside down for the hydraulic brakes?
