For Sale: Very light 10spd Road wheels

Front and rear Velocity A23 rims on Strada hubs laced with DT Swiss spokes. 24 DT Revolution spokes radially laced on the front and 28 DT Competition spokes double cross laced on the back. Velocity Velo plugs fitted instead of rim tape.

Front wheel : 670g

Rear wheel : 850g

23mm rim width clinchers to fit 23mm+ tyres.

Amazingly responsive and light. Very comfortable to ride. 10 speed Shimano splined freehub.

New cartridge bearings recently fitted including upgraded SKF cartridge in the rear DS.

Caveats : The rear rim is worn and could do with re-rimming. I am happy to re-rim it if someone provides the A23 replacement rim. I’ve knocked £50 off the price I want for them to account for this. Also there are a few marks on one side of the front hub where I had to remove a bearing cartridge that came apart. Nothing that affects running though. This is visible in on e of the photos below. There are a few indents on the freehub body from a couple of the sprockets also visible in one of the photos below. This is fairly normal and again doesn't affect the function of the hub. Other than that they are in good condition with new smooth bearings.

These wheels built up by Strada Wheels sell for £295, and now they use the cheaper slightly heavier Novatec hubs. When they were building them up with their own lightweight Strada hubs (like the ones I’m selling) they were about £400.

Please note these were not built by Strada. I built and maintained them myself and they have had under a year of use (on a leisure riding bike, not a commuter).
