Strong, light and durable wheels with quality components hand built in Bristol. We use Shimano XT M8000 hubs and the strong and dependable DT Swiss RR 481 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.
