D N A Wheels?

[Old-Fat-and-slow]

Anyone ACTUALLY own a set? Don't need opinions about where they are made, or that they aren't Excel's.... I would very much like to hear from someone who has ridden on a set for a while. Any help is greatly appreciated...........

Bill who runs Suicycle in Carmichael said that since he started carrying them he's had nothing but positive input from customers on their customer service. I checked them out after I bought my Warp 9's, they look sick for sure and only $650 a set at Suicycle.

How long have you had your warp 9's, and how are they holding up? I'm a big guy and tend to not ride very smooth, so I'm a little nervous about after market wheels. The price on the D N A wheel set makes it hard to beleve they are the real deal.

At first I broke like 4 spokes and Cycle Gear was hela cool bout their return policy, instead I contacted Warp 9 he insisted I send them to him to be rebuilt and haven't had and issue yet. $750 w/ brake rotors and a 49tooth chainwheel.
Dean (Schleprock) who works @ RV Yamaha said just today that they've been having major issues w/ the Talon/Excel combos they sell, I guess the Talon hubs are so light and snugin' down the spokes is making them snap at the hub side.
My wheel building experience is in MTB CC wheels and when I'd build a set that last 1/4 turn or what have ya it was imperative you backed it off a smig to untwist the spoke. I think that was the problem w/ the Warp 9's, that tighten the crap outa them and prolly didn't back it off, the spokes were snappin' at the hub.
Good luck, it these hard times us blue collar guys cant afford $1,400 or better for wheel set so DNA and Warp 9 are on the right track, they just need some big name to run em' I guess.

warp 9 wheels from cyclegear started using buchannon spokes for a better wheel that should last longer,but its hard to get away from stock and how they hold up for me
