    FOR SALE:

    Little-used handbuilt, DT Swiss wheelset.

    Hubs: DT high flange track hubs
    Spokes: DT Aerolite
    Rims: DT RR511, tubeless ready with braking surface
    Tires: Nearly new Continental GP 4000 S II

    I built these wheels as quality alloy training/outdoor velodrome racing wheels last year - I'm only selling them now to raise some cash for a new frame. The closest thing you'll find to them in the shops would be these:

    The difference is the addition of a brake track on this build. These wheels would suit a wide variety of purposes - in side-by-side flying 200m testing on the Olympic velodrome they performed identically to my 60mm rim carbon track wheels and only slightly behind a full disc/zipp 808 setup, making them a great purchase for any aspiring track rider. Set up tubeless (lowering rolling resistance and greatly reducing any puncture risk) they would be ideal for a fixed crit racer or an urban rider who wants a set of wheels that will outlast them.

    As you can see from the attached pictures the wheels are in excellent condition with a couple of minor marks from storage and transportation.

    Price: £350. If you wanted to get these wheels built for you at the moment you'd most likely be looking at the thick end of £500, so grab yourself a deal!

    Viewing available at Lee Valley Velopark. Please get in touch to discuss delivery options.
