DT Swiss XR1450 in black light use only. Weight approx 1450g.
Done perhaps 200 miles.
Front non boost 15mm axle
Rear 135mm QR.
29 inch wheels.
Came with a used bike I’ve bought but surplus to requirements
Not a many sets around so hard to value.
Cheers

Centrelock? The rear being QR might bring the value down unless the hubs can be converted.

Quite old wheels with old spacing, so not a large market for these, not even sure this version could be put to 142x12 without changing the axle as well, so expensive, probably best letting ebay or the likes sell them for what they go for if you're not going to use them.

these are from before people wanted to know about internal rim widths.. but 240s hubs on 4.2d rims, aero spokes i'd think with that weight number.. so 17-19mm internal I'd guess.
They'll certainly be convertible to 142. but possibly needs the rear axle drifiting out , new bearings, new axle and end caps.
still low vaule as a wheelset, better as hubs only probably. If they were 32h I'd be interested but these should be 28?

They'll fit a lot of gravel/CX bikes, so potentially still worth a decent amount. I'd stick on eBay with if you want top dollar...

Sounds fine for likes of older hardtail built up as fast XC bike, or gravel as above.
They'd likely suit my Swift or a burly version of the Peregrine..

definitely a market I'd say.

Those fulcrums are a lb heavier, same weight as most cheapo XC wheels. And the front needs converting for almost everyone. When I bought my frame what, 3 years ago, the guy threw in wheels like that for £25 and they were 15mm front.

That's not the only set ever sold on eBay. It's the only set sold in the relatively short time frame they search back into. eBay does not expose historic auction data for that long. They were also sold in the States so different market.
