DT Swiss RR 1.1 rims?
Has anyone had had any experience with these? Do they have little
drainage holes to let water out? Any other thoughts? Thanks Joseph |

Any other thoughts? http://www.dtswiss.com/index.asp?fus...ikedetail&id=8 In this picture, the RR 1.1 appears to have no holes nor am I aware of any rims that have drains. Although it is available for 28..36 spokes, I don't believe it uses spoke sockets or that would have been shown. This rim supports spoke loads on eyelets bearing only on its outer wall.

As Jobst pointed out, they only have single-wall eyelets, which may be a valid concern. Why? I haven't heard of problems with these rims yet. Have you? Greetings, Derk |

There's no doubt that double wall eyelets are a better design, but perhaps the rim material is strong enough so that single-wall eyelets are sufficient within reasonable spoke tension. -as |

We read reports of rims developing cracks around eyelets often on this forum. Many riders do not recall when heavier deep-V aero rims were rare and most good rims had sockets AND eyelets. Aero rims showed that spokes hanging in a deep-V on a narrow thick bed did not crack rims. Subsequently spoke sockets have vanished from nearly all other rims and now they crack. We don't have any user reports of durability of these or similar new rims as they become available but there is no indication why they should be immune to cracking, considering that they do not have thicker walls. Besides, they are anodized which can accelerate cracking. Jobst Brandt |
