• Hey guys,

    I’ve been running some aluminium Mavic Ellipse Track wheels for some time now and I’ve been itching to get some components and get a set of wheels built up and they’re finally done.

    Rims: 2019 Zipp 404 Firecrest Carbon Clincher Rim Brake 

    Hubs: Zenith Sealed Cartridge Bearing High Flange Track Hubs
    
Spokes: Sapim Leader J-Bend Spokes

    Also, other than the trusty Continental GatorSkin’s are there any other tyres you guys can recommend? Would be much appreciated!

    Thank you!

  • The wheels will be fine, but stiff, any reason for not using normal flange hubs? The combination of a stiff alloy frame and stiff wheels will make Gatorskins even more uncomfortable than they already are. Literally anything would be better, if you're not commuting on it try 25mm Veloflex Masters, much lighter and lovely to ride (but not very puncture resistant).

  • Go tubeless and pirelli p zeros. Nice balance between performance and puncture resistance.

    Or obligatory gp5000.
