These are a more premium option than the other carbon disc brake wheels that I have available. The rims come out of the mould as a finished product, so there is less waste and they have a lovely raw carbon, unpainted finish. They are also stronger, with more impact resistance, and there is the option of a lifetime warranty on the rims.
I’ve listed 38mm depth rims with a hookless, 25mm internal diameter, although other depths are available - please just let me know what you need. These are for disc brakes so perfect for modern disc brake road bikes or gravel bikes. The 25mm width would be perfect for wider gravel tyres, or to optimise aerodynamics when using 30-32mm road tyres that are more commonplace on modern road bikes.
Weight on my scales is a shade under 430g per rim. With Bitex hubs, Sapim CX-Ray and brass nipples (for year round reliability), you’re looking at 1500g.
I can build these up with Bitex BX106 centrelock hubs for a good value, solid performing carbon wheelset. These hubs are light and the geometry is also good, which is an important factor in the stiffness of a hand built set of wheels (it will feel better to ride and be more reliable).
Hope RS4 has been replaced with the Pro 5 hub and is available in centrelock or 6 bolt. They are solid hubs, well made and excellent quality. Spec these for a reliable, 4 season hubset that is easy to maintain when it comes to replacing bearings. They are good value compared to more premium options but Bitex hubs perform similarly for less cost.
For a high end set of hubs, offering very low weight and top performance, I can build these up with DT Swiss 240 EXP centrelock hubs. These are light, have improved geometry over previous DT versions, and feature DT’s elegant ratchet design freehub.
Please get in touch to discuss the best options to suit your riding, or if you need advice on spoke counts, rim/hub/spoke combinations, etc. lead time is generally 6 weeks if I don’t have rims in stock.
My usual guarantee applies when buying these wheels.
Wheels will be supplied with tubeless tape fitted and tubeless valves. Please leave details about spoke count, axle standard (quick release, 12x100mm 12x142mm, etc) and which free hub you need in the comment box at checkout. Shimano / SRAM, etc
