DT Swiss will be launching a Mon Chasseral version of the RC 28 Spline wheels in its 2016 range, lighter than existing RS 28 Spline wheels and designed to offer a high-standard braking performance. Here’s a quick look.
The RC in the name means that the rim is made from carbon, and the 28 refers to the rim depth in millimetres. Those details are the same as for the existing RC 28 wheels but DT Swiss say that the Mon Chasseral version, named after a Swiss mountain, is made with a new resin compound that’s far more heat resistant. The idea is to deliver a better braking performance. DT Swiss reckon that the braking standards here are clearly above DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung, meaning German Institute for Standardisation) rules.

The wheels come with a completely re-engineered Spline hub based on DT Swiss’s well-respected 180 hub but with a full carbon-fibre shell. They use new Sinc Ceramic hybrid bearings that are designed to reduce friction and increase durability.
The wheels use 28mm carbon clincher rims with a 21mm outer width and a 15mm inner width. DT Swiss are generally moving towards wider rims, following the trend towards wider tyres, but these are fairly narrow by recent standards.
Like all of DT Swiss’s new wheels from model year 2016 onwards, they’re tubeless ready. The relevant tape and valve will be included in the package, as are Swiss Stop Black Prince braking pads Titan RWS skewers and the washer you’ll need if you want to fit a 10-speed rather than an 11-speed cassette. The wheels are available with either a Shimano/SRAM or a Campagnolo freehub.

DT Swiss claim a weight of 1,255g per set without skewers. That compares to 1,385g for the standard RC28s and 1,325g for the existing disc brake version. They have a weight limit of 100kg.
The price will be €2,798 although we don’t yet have a UK price.
They’ll be available later in the year via www.hotlines-uk.com.
the police barely do anything with close pass data, like just analyse the clear geographic hot spots and setup camera vehicles themselves....
Yep - said the same on the YT comments...
I bet those ambulances have never paid tax in their lives! They should get out of the way of hard working, tax paying, otherwise law abiding cars
Have a like for using the word "profligate" 👍😁.
What are you getting him?
Just like folding helmets. Every couple of years someone thinks, that's a brilliant idea, I'll sell millions, I'll make a fortune. Erm, no.
He understands it: his social media site is called Truth Social or somesuch.
Because they can....
If the employee's of Komoot are mostly German employees on standard German contracts the new Italian owners are in for a bit of a shock....
Raising the maximum price limit a few years ago may be providing an avenue for abuse but I now see more and more parents delivering their children...
