I highly doubt that anybody but you would ever know the difference. I'd go with the DNA. IMO there's no point in paying twice the price for Ride Wright.

No issues what so ever in mixing them!
& you'd be hard pushed to see any difference, well, apart from the difference in your wallet! Don't waste your money on RW's! I did & regret it big time!

I bought a DNA or the rear of my bike, but it is not something I would doagain. One of the spokes came broken out of the package, they sent me replacement spokes whichook a month. Since they use and epoxy to seal wheel for tubeless app, I had to reseal the whole wheel and it took forever. Just not a good buying experience. I may be in the minority but they are not a company I would deal with again. Like everyone has always told me, you get what you pay for.
