Strong, light and durable wheels with quality components hand built in Bristol. We use the latest Shimano R470 hubs and the strong and dependable DT Swiss GR531 rim. We bring both these components together using DT Swiss Competition double butted spokes and Prolock brass nipples. These wheels are set up tubeless ready with DT Swiss tubeless rim tape.
With all of our wheels they are hand built to a high standard within 0.2mm lateral and 0.5mm radial tolerances.
These wheels are built to order and available within 5-7 days once an order is place.

- Freed from UCI regulation, the DT Swiss Gravel range was free to go as wide as DT's test data suggested, after extensive testing of different tyre profiles and rim shapes, DT engineers have settled on a full 24 mm as the perfect width for modern Gravel bikes
- The added width gives better support to wide, 35c or larger tyres, allowing the use of lower pressures, enhancing grip and comfort whilst reducing rolling resistance and tyre flex under cornering
- A substantial 130 KG weight limit means these rims can be used for bike packing or light touring
- Need a rim for cyclocross racing or just something a bit less specific? Check out the RR 481 Cross Road, which is fully UCI compliant and a great option for 30-35c tyres
- Whilst primarily designed for tubeless use, the GR 531 can also easily be used with standard clinchers and tubes
- Unlike the lightweight XC mountain bike rims that have been used as impromptu gravel rims in the past these are proper road rims and designed to handle higher pressures safely
- Strength Boost Welding Technology creates a perfectly welded join for a durable, reliable rim
- Unique process for the black coating produces a tough and durable finish
- Presta drilling
- Outer width: 28 mm, Inner Width: 24 mm, Height: 25 mm
- Max spoke tension: 1200 N
- Weight: 500 grams (650B) or 535 gram (700c)

“Called Paul to discuss a pair of handmade wheels, he was very knowledgeable and open. Wheels delivered promptly, communications good throughout, packing superb and wheels lovely. Highly recommended.
Gary“I just purchased a new Di2 groupset from the online store. Paul from the store answered all my questions beforehand, accommodated for my requirements and shipped the items so I could receive them in a day. Excellent service, couldn't be more satisfied.”
