• I’m going to get some disc road wheels built for my bowman pilgrims and just wanted to sense check parts.

    Hope RS4 centre lock disc hubs - 28h front and rear. 142x12mm and 100x12mm thru axle. Steel free hub to reduce bite marks.

    Rims - XR31’s

    DT revs front laced radially.
    DT comps rear laced 3 cross.

    Anything daft here?

    One thing, my current disc wheels are QR. Is there anything I need to do to run thru axle instead? Sorry, but new to the world of disc.

  • DT revs front laced radially

    Youre building these yourself? Id be surprised if a wheelbuilder agrees to this. Dont build a disc wheel radially, and dont do it with revolution spokes.

    Dt comps all round or splash out on CX rays. No inbetween

  • I'd do front and back 2x with that combination, don't do radial front with a disc brake. Make sure you get the offset (OCR) version of the rim too, I think they might all be anyway as disc but worth double checking. Rs4s have changeable end caps to suit QR or thru axles, what you want depends on the frame and fork.

  • Anything daft here?

    Not daft as such, but unless you're loading up the front, 24/32 is a better load distribution than 28/28

  • If you need these building I have stock of Pillar spokes and can easily source you rims and hubs .
    Pillar spokes are £1.50 with brass DSN nipple.
    Also have XR31T's in sandblast black finish rather than polished.
    Also with these rims, 32h is a little overkill.
