EX500's, the replacement for the 5.1d.

why replacement i saw u carrying that a couple of days back from work
why the wheels?

Dunno why they are replacing them...Ask DT.
And because they are a pound lighter than 721's are supposed to be just as strong.

Not a pound lighter... about 150g for both.

wat uves still got ur other mavics?

I weighed my wheels, and got the weight of the 721s on pro 2's from the sicklines site and it worked out at just under a pound.

And yes jack i've still got my 729s on pro 2's

FR500s are claimed at 500g, Sicklines proved 721s to be 577g...

I'm not running FR500's though.
I've got EX500's (the new 5.1d's)
And according to website claimed weights, its 0.5pounds difference between my wheels and the 721's. So my scales are probably wrong lol

Anyway figures aren't really important its about how it rides and these wheels are seriously fast.

Oh shit. My reading skills are aweful. Sorry dude hahaha.

for this year at least, there are no fr500's the only 500 series rim dt makes is the ex500(if there are, and I can't find them on the DT site, sorry, but I can only recall one series of 500 rims from DT), which has s stiffer alloy than the 5.1d, they were designed like the 6.1s to absorb more of the impact, and reduce pinch flats, and so in a race, you get less flats, but a slightly easier to dent rim. I find mine pretty well. nice whip though.

Cheers dude, yours is pretty tidy aswell

lol thanks, you gotta love chromoly

Nah same length TT, 21.5.
