<<...TR for Ritchey brand spokes made by DT...>>

Brian, are you sure about that DT connection? I know Ritchey had some big, big problems with spoke breakage in their complete wheel sets, so it's hard to imagine that DT made those. I thought they were Asian made...? Or maybe Ritchey changed or had multiple manufacturers?
