Another wheel day (and so on).

I built a front wheel with a DT RR411db rim.
The rim was brought in by a customer,
but I'm amazed that a new 24H version of this is still available.
The PHR washer that came with the rim had an early-type specification,
so it might have been sitting in storage.

For DT rims, only the road and gravel versions
have model numbers that roughly correspond to the stated weight,
but the RR411 rim for rim brakes is still going strong.
The disc brake version has been replaced
by the RR421db model, which has approximately the same weight
but a different name.
I'm not sure what changed, but the biggest difference is the price.
It's gotten ridiculously expensive.

Update: I had written RR412db,
but the correct model is RR421db.
Thank you for the correction in the comments.
Also, the 421db has both inner and outer rim widths
that are 2mm wider than the 411db.
Looking at Japanese distributor list prices:
The 2021 RR411db and RR421db are both
¥12,000 (excluding tax) / ¥13,200 (including tax)
(sold concurrently with the same list price),
while the 2023 RR421db is
¥17,800 (excluding tax) / ¥19,580 (including tax).

By the way, when I searched "RR411" on Google just now,
(to be precise, at the "RR41" stage)
"RR411 nora lab" came up in the suggestions.
I wonder why.
