Have all the bits coming now to build a couple of road wheelset for the felt.
Mountain Wheels:
F) Kinlin TB 20 - 20 x radial - Tune mig 70 With ceramic bearings.
R) Kinlin TB 20 - 24 x triplet - Tune mag 180 With ceramic bearings.
1300g
Flatland Wheels:
F) WUT60 (60mm, 25mm wide, carbon tubular) - 18 x radial - BHS UL66.
R) WUT88 (88mm, 25mm wide, carbon tubular) - 24 x radial - BHS UL190.
1500g
CN aero424 spokes used throughout. They area good chioce for the aero wheelset, and light enough for the shallow one.
Basically the Felt is my Nice bike. So dont really want 'training' Wheels as such. But I do hit the Mountains in poor weather (or rather I head out in Nice weather, and the poor weather hits me). So I wanted some shallower Wheels With alu braking. That were still Nice enough for me to want to ride on the Nice bike. They are under spoked buy 4 spokes per Wheel IMHO. But I had the hubs already.
The deep section Wheels are for flattish rides and tri's. Obviously they'd make great race Wheels. But I'll probably not use them if I think its going to be windy. I'd quite happily them in high Winds. But perhaps not so much in a tight Group. They're more for tri, solo, and TT use really.
