Disc brakes for road bikes are here. Well this is also a CX rim. The velocity Aileron is 25mm wide, 30mm deep and tubeless compatible. It is everything you could want in a rim. 480g weight and stiff. It is round too giving even tensioned builds. Available in 24H, 28H and 32H drillings it offers something for everyone.
This build is with DT Swiss 350 straight pull hubs and DT Swiss competition spokes. Wheelset weight is 1765g.
The wheelset is 11 speed compatible as I swap in the required freehub body. Simply a stiff, high performing semi aero and robust disc brake wheelset for road or CX use. The wide rim really lets tyre take up the width they are meant too. Here is the bike they were fitted to a well a stainless steel R931 Genesis Croix der Fer built up with Brook Cambium saddle, deda bars, stem and seat post and Campagnolo Chrous drivetrain -perfection.
