Handbuilt, light yet robust (1470 gms) aero wheelset.
240s Hubs (24 rear in 2x both sides; 20 radial front) These alone cost £370 new the pair, and these are brand, brand new!
CX Ray spokes all round. Sapim Alloy nips.
31mm black alloy rims, (XR300 Kinlins which is the same wheel as Interloc Racing (IRD) Aeros. Kinlin is Taiwanese and makes the rims out of Niobium - Scandium if you follow Easton; ie a hardened alu alloy stronger than 7000 series). Includes Veloplugs, included in the weight of the wheelset.
Tensioned to 97 kgf front, 119 kgf rear drive side. Meticulously measured and remeasured until perfect uniformity achieved with a DT Swiss Tensiometer - very, very accurate. Suitable for riders up to 92.5 kg.
Shimano 9/10 speed freehub (can be switched v easily with a campy freehub)
Ridden 10 miles for testing purposes. Responsive wheels, spin up fast with magic carpet ride. Really smooth ride.
These are £675 wheels, save yourself £200. £475.
