DMR Comp Front Wheel

The DMR Comp front wheel weighs in at 1310g, which is heavy for a front wheel. It is 36h, and intended for dirt jump applications. The double wall and 'D' section give it good strength, something I cannot disagree with. The £99.99 rrp is very cheap, and DMR do offer the pro range for the rider with a little more cash who wants to save some weight. The wheel's been run for ten months, but was second hand before I bought it. The bearings in the hub are beginning to go now, but it has been ridden in rough conditions and even Hope hubs need attention from time to time. The wheel has taken a complete battering, including a high speed crash straight into a tree. Despite a series of huge impacts, it has only developed a slight wobble. I know from experience that wheels twice the price of the DMR's couldn't survive that impact. The wheels themselves look good with the red hub and black rim with white graphics. My main niggle is the weight - because the strength is exceptional. If you don't care about it, then buy them for sure - £100 for a brand new wheel is fantastic value. If weight is an issue, spending a little more on a different wheel may be the answer.
