Ready to get aero?

I've been alluding to this for a while now.  Wheels...  Yes, frame building is continuing.  Wheel building is just an additional service I'm adding!

So let's talk aero carbon tubular wheels for a second.  This is a set that I spec'd up using 55mm carbon tubular rims and personalized hubs.  I'll get the big questions answered straight away...  1498 and 899.  Oh, that's grams and dollars if you're wondering.

Rims-  as I mentioned these are 55mm deep.  They are a nice 25mm wide, accommodating the current crop of wide tubulars.  Digging a little deeper, you'll notice that these rims are primarily a 3K weave overwrapped with unidirectional cloth for a nice clean look.  There's extra 3k at both the spoke and tire bed to augment strength.  The front rim is 20 spokes and the rear is 24.  If  you're a big, powerful rider I can build these up with more spokes!

Hubs-  So I'm showing you black, laser etched with my logo...  Don't let that stop you from dreaming though!  I can build with silver, red, blue and a few even wilder options!   Tech wise, these hubs are light and use standard, easily obtainable cartridge bearings.  If you're looking for upgrades, we can even provide you with hybrid ceramic bearings!  An additional great feature is the alloy driver body has steel inserts, no more gouged driver bodies from cassettes having loose cogs.  If none of this suits your fancy, dream big...  I can set you up with almost any commercially available hub.

Spokes and nipples...  I'm a Sapim guy.  There are some great choices out on the market, I've settled on Sapim because of their strength.  This set of wheels was built using Sapim lasers.  Super strong yet light weight.  As far as nipples, black brass.  Yes, I could have dropped some weight using alloy nipples but designed these wheels to be all arounders...  Race them, train on them, beat them.  Light and strong!

So, dream...  dream big...  Let me know what you'd like and I can get you a price!!!  Oh and if you have any additional questions about these wheels, leave me a comment!
