FS: Another set of killer handbuilt alloy clinchers (for cheap!)
This is a killer set of handbuilt alloy clinchers!
Assembled in 2014 by a local wheelbuilding veteran of 30+ years.
These wheels are very similar to offerings from 3 different companies that used this rim and Sapim spokes:
1. Boyd Vitesse Gen 1
2. November FSW23
3. Hoops Wheels 2328
I wanted a very durable multi-use wheel (road or CX) with great ride quality, reasonably low weight, and exceptional durability. These wheels meet all of those criteria and by going custom, I was able to get exactly what I wanted (namely high spoke counts and nipple washers).
Front:
Kinlin XC-279 rim
BHS SLF85W red hub
28 Sapim Lasers, laced 3x
28 Sapim brass nipples
Rear:
Kinlin XC-279 rim
BHS SL210 red hub
8/9/10/11 speed Shimano/SRAM freehub
32 Sapim Lasers, laced 3x
32 Sapim brass nipples
Nipple washers used on drive side for increased durability
Approx weight: 1625g
These wheels have seen 2 seasons of riding but are still in great shape. They have never required truing! Ride quality is exceptional and durability is unmatched. Great training and racing wheels!
Price: $225 shipped (gift) in CONUS. Will ship to Canada for actual shipping cost.
