Anyone knows, are Traverse wheelset on Expert really different, little more expensive than on Comp?:unsure:
As I was looking at the spec, Expert Travers wheelset have DT Swiss 360 hub and DT Swiss Competition Race spokes.

As far as I am aware the Expert has better hubs, front and rear.
I hear people with the Comp complaining that the bearings come loose, requiring adjustment.
To me this indicates that they are using cone bearings, where as the expert has cartridge bearings, i.e no adjustment to be made.

My Whyte 905 had problems with the rear wheel loosening. It had cartridge bearings. The problem was that there was no internal support for the inner races, either with a spacer tube, or steps on the axle, therefore the locknut had to be tight enough to avoid play but not so tight as to put pressure on the inner races.

And it also has XD DRIVER BODY.
So in the end, if putt on the market, it might fetch little more money than standard? ;)
