Apr 3, 2026DT Swiss 350 XM 481 29" boost wheels (J-bend XM1700)
$595 USDNew, hand-built, un-ridden DT Swiss wheelset.
29er, 110/148, centerlock
These are essentially a J-bend spoke version of an XM1700 wheelset.
Photos show HG freehub but I also have XD and MS freehubs available.
HUBS
- current generation DT 350
- 36T ratchet
- 28H front and rear
- rear currently has HG but I have Microspline and XD options
- 15x110 front 12x148 rear
- centerlock rotor mount
RIMS
- XM 481 28H
- built with req'd DT PHR nipple washers
SPOKES
- Sapim Race black spokes (2.0/1.8/2.0mm equivalent to DT Comp that are stock on XM1700)
- black Squorx alloy Pro Lock nipples
Precisely taped with DT tubeless rim tape. The last one inch tape end is sealed with superglue tape so you won't face it peeling.
DT tubeless valves installed.
Although I'm not the fastest builder, I've been doing it for 25 years. I have a methodical process using a calibrated $400 DT tensiometer, periodic pre-stressing and other best practices to produce a build on par with any skilled builder. The tensions, roundness and trueness are precisely dialed.

DT Swiss Revamps 1700 Series Wheels With Anti-Pedal Kickback Hubs and New Rims
I wonder if this foretells eventual availability of asymmetric rims from DT. Always found it odd that DT has never made asymmetric rims (other than 1 or 2 oddball exceptions).
I like DT quality but would be great to gain the advantages of asymmetric drilling.

Mar 18, 2026Ibis Tranny 29 aka T-29 frame, XL, like new
$750 USDExcellent condition Ibis Tranny frame for sale.
Size XL
I think its a 2016 but not certain as this colorway was available for multiple years.
Not ridden since 2019.
Shimano XTR pressfit bottom bracket installed (easily removed if you prefer a different BB/crank). Like new.
Cane Creek 40 headset installed, like new.
I bought this with the intention of building up a packable travel bike, but it never made it on any trips, only 8 or 10 local rides. In anticipation of travel handling, I fully covered the frame in 3M paint protection film, as you can see in photos, two layers in some overlapping spots. I considered peeling all the 3M film off so prospective buyers could see the condition better, but that seemed dumb given the amount of time and effort that went into cutting and applying it, and the likelihood that the next owner would want to keep it.
There is one modification on the frame that I'll note: its been made Di2 compatible via a small hole milled through the aluminum front derailleur mount. This is a completely safe mod, since it goes thru the aluminum billet on the seat tube and not directly into the carbon tube. The hole can be seen in the last photo (upper hole is stock threaded hole for derailleur mount or mount cover plate; lower hole is the diy Di2 cable "port"). If you mount a derailleur or the cover plate (included in sale) then you won't see either hole.
Small Ibis bits included:
- various covers for the internal routing ports which should cover about any scenario of 1X/2X, dropper, brake hoses, etc.
- spare bolt for

32" Wheels Will Make Cape Epic Race Debut This Weekend
Well, our 32" hero placed 36th in a field of 38 teams in stage 1.
I'm disappointed that they couldn't dig deeper and finish 32nd . . .
