38mm deep carbon tubular build 1260g!


Well these are the lightest set of of wheels I have built yet and they are quite aerodynamic and stiff. Also they cost less than many factory options with sacrificing anything really. The build uses 38mm deep 20.5mm wide carbon tubular rims, Sapim CX-ray spokes and Miche Primato hub. Weight 1260g. If I used a lighter hub set they would be even lighter and I have some Miche Supertype 14 hubs 18F/24R on order from Miche so I can play. Cost £623

Grey H plus son Archetype rims on White Industries T11 hubs very classy

 
A lucky customer is getting a Legend frame so he is having me build some very classy wheels for them. Grey H plus Son Archetype rims 20F/28R on White Industries T11 silver hubs (for campagnolo) and silver sapim laser spokes with alloy nipples. Not enough silver on bikes these day and this customer is going some way to rectify that.

The hubs are 11 speed compatible and have a Ti freehub body. They use cartridge bearings and are simply awesome. No skewers though with these which is a bit checky but that normal for high end hubs.  So stiff light and resonably aerodynamic due to the low spoke count on the front.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Weight of these wheels is 1585g.
