Your questions and our answers

    Good day, I would like to put such wheels on the Marin Four Corners, which I use for trips with panniers. Me + panniers = heavy weight, but I will still be within the weight limit. I have 2 questions for the wheel configuration: - what spokes do you recommend for a gravel bike that will be ridden with a heavy load, - what is the difference between a DT Swiss 370 6 bolt Ratchet LN 18T hub and a Novatec D791/D792 6 bolt? Is it about better materials, weight? For me, the most important thing is a good hub seal, and a negligible difference of a few grams with such a tank.

    A For the described purpose, high reliability and durability of the set is crucial. We recommend DT Swiss hubs, which are very well sealed and operate with a reliable ratchet system. As for the choice of spokes for the described purpose, Sapim Race spokes (durable) combined with brass rivets (you can choose in the configurator), which are stronger than the slightly lighter aluminum ones, will work best.
