Weight Weenies

Hi, I came off my bike and trashed my hollowgram knot 64 which came with my 2020 systemsix.

The insurance company has offered me Hollowgram R-SL 64 both front and rear. Is this a legit like-for-like replacement, or even an upgrade? I can't see them sold anywhere...

I don't think there is such a thing as R-SL.
I would guess you can assume it's Knot 64 SL.

According to insurance company;

Cannondale have updated the Knot64 and they are being superseded by the Cannondale R-SL 64.

All good then

The new top of the line wheels that come with the new SuperSix Evo are the Hollowgram R-SL 50's which are a 50mm deep wheel. Perhaps Cannondale is rebranding the Knot 64's, though I've not seen that branding used before.

HollowGram™ R-SL 64

The pinnacle of our aerodynamic performance. With extremely low drag, a wide rim
and an optimized tire width make these road wheels some of the fastest on the planet.
Incredibly aerodynamic, lightweight, tubeless compatible and purpose built, the gains
you’ll see from these wheels are the opposite of marginal. Optimized for speed using a
tire measuring 26mm wide also means more air volume for a smoother ride. Built with
ultra-reliable HollowGram hubs with premium DT Swiss 240 EXP rear internals.
˓ 64mm deep, disc brake specifc, full carbon rims
˓ Rim width: 21mm internal / 32mm external
˓ HollowGram shell, DT Swiss 240 EXP internals, Center Lock disc
˓ DT Swiss Aerolite spokes
˓ Tubeless compatible

Spec Size Code
R-SL 64 Rear CL Shi Wheel 700 142x12mm 700C HP8102U1042
R-SL 64 Rear CL XDR Wheel 700 142x12mm 700C HP8112U1042
R-SL 64 Front CL Wheel 700 100x12mm 700C HP8122U1010

These sound exactly like the old knot 64. I think it's a rebrand.

Also which insurance plan did you have to insures your wheels?

I don't recall if Knot 64 got DT Swiss EXP or regular hub. I believe systemsix was released before EXP.

Also interested in insurance.

Ah yea it was out before EXP hubs. So that was the chnage + rebrand. As the weight is exactly the same so none of the structural bits changed.

Yellow jersey is the insurance. I had crash, busted the frame, fork and rims which they're replacing entirely.
