    The spokes on my rear DT wheel give out a tinkling noise on hard climbs. They are quality 240 hubs and spoke tension seems even. This is the second set of DT’s i have that do this. Its annoying,and makes me think there is some flex in the wheels. Anybody else have DT’s with the same issue ?

    I have a pair of RR21 wheels & the rear pings so I’ll be trying this. Cheers.
