Ryde Pulse Sprint wheelset sub 1500g

28F/32R Ryde Pulse Sprint wheelset laced up with Sapim Laser spokes, sapim alloy nipples and Novatec A171/F172 hubs. Weight 1485g.

These rims are new and light weight in at 385-395g. They are 20mm deep and 17.8mm wide internally. So like other wide rims your tyres will take a wider profile and give you more ride comfort and slightly improved lateral grip.The rear rim is the off centre version and high NDS tension is achieved for a dished wheel. They are even stiff, the width of the rim helps here.

So wide and light what not to like. I will also build these with Miche Primato hubs, Campagnolo record (32H front of course), Dura Ace 9000 or White IndustiresT11 hubs.

H Plus Archetype rims Grey on Royce hubs

There is another rider in Suffolk who thinks like me and he has the wheels I want!
I built him Grey Archetype rims 28H on Royce hubs with silver Race spokes. Not the lightest wheels that have ever been built they are one of the prettiest. Royce hubs are hub for life. They have titaium freehub, stainless steel axles, big 6001 NTN cartridge bearings. Simply they are one of the best hubs in production but they come in silver only but what wrong which that look at that finish they have.

Ambrosio tubular Nemesis wheelset on Campagnolo Record hubs

For a while now the pro peleton's choice for the spring bike destorying classic in Flanders has been the Ambrosio Nemesis rim althoug now a greater number of carbon rims are seen. This rim is 490g and is quite stif for a shallow rim. It's 21mm width helps here. It is a tubular rim because on cobble tubulars tyre are the best.

This wheelset is built using Campagnolo record hubs, and black Sapim Race spokes as was shipped to a rider in the armed force in Germany who will be riding Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix (as an amateur though). It is also my choice of rim for RVV.
It is even a stiff wheelset

Ryde Pulse Comp disc wheel set on novatec hubs 1450g

Ryde have released the first road disc brake only rim to the market. There is no brake track so I suppose track riders may like it. This is the first build I have done with them. The hubs picked are novatec D711/D712 hubs with a 11 speed freehub. The spokes are Sapim D-light and the rims are 32H. 3x lacing has been used of course and these are light at 1450g. The rims weigh 337g each.
The internal width of the rim is 15mm and it is tubeless compatible. The Cycle Clinic now stocks this rim and thesehubs. Contact us for further details.

Pacenti SL23 build with White Industires T11 hubs 1492g

Pacenti SL23 rims are 445g rim that is 24mm wide (18.5mm internal width) 26mm deep and very stiff. This build is 20 spoke front and a 24 rear. The rim also does a respectable job of being aerodyamic due to its round rim profile.

The White Industries T11 hubs are light and they do look good. They are available in silver or pretty anodised colurs for a surcharge. This wheelset is £666 and my it is one I want to keep. Shame they are paid for and the customer wants them.
