They weighed in at 413 and 415 g each, seem fairly straight just out of the box.. I am still waiting for my hubs, dt Swiss 240s. Going to lace them up with sapim race spokes and give them hell under my 190 lb self for an xc season here in Texas. Still debating on aluminum or brass nipples, but will be shaving over a lb over my current wheelset. I have a set of the blunt sl rims.

So, I'd just say that the Blunt SL's I have are pretty reasonable in terms of tension. Pretty much what I would build at if they were my own. Also, many folks will argue that high spoke tension is irrelevant to wheel stiffness, so I guess it may not matter in the end depending upon who you want to believe. ;) @Ted Well, that’s a huge range, considering Enve has no upper limits to spoke tension on their rims.

Towards the Stans end or towards the Enve end? What kind of spoke tension do they have? Towards the Stans end or towards the Enve end?

Bonty TLR and Specialized 2Bliss are very similar in fit, and the proto Ground Controls fit the Blunt SL very well. @sam: Yeah, I don’t see why not.
