DT Swiss started building some of the highest quality stainless steel spokes at a time when steel spokes were still regularly used. Later DT Swiss began to introduce forged butted spokes, which increased the strength and reduced the weight of there already world class spokes. DT Swiss also developed star ratchet hubs. These now include the Ceramic 190, 240, and Onix hubs. These bicycle hubs represent Swiss engineering at its finest. Next DT Swiss started making bicycle rims and complete wheels. With this addition DT Swiss solidified thier bicycle wheel manufacturing supremacy and ensured that they will always remain at the top of the bicycle world game. Prowheelbuilder.com will happely build a DT Swiss hub into Zipp, Reynolds, LEW, Mavic, Velocity, Sun Ringle, and Edge Composite rims. We would also be happy to lace any of our bicycle hubs into a DT Swiss rim.
