Superlight XC race wheelset for rim brake only!
These are in AS NEW condition. They have literally covered just 30 dry miles since new so are perfect. I have another identical set which I've been running on and off for over 10 years and have never had a single problem or glitch (bar needing a new cassette body after it was damaged in the post!!).
Designed as a system, each component was selected by legendary guru Mr. Keith Bontrager to compliment each other to lose weight and gain strength:
- DT Hugi 240 Bontrager-spec hubs in black. The European equivalent of Chris King, some say better, I'd say about as good but not as shiney! The ratchet drive is supposed to be stronger than King's, and the DT's are lighter. Maintenence-free stainless steel cartridge bearings, superbly sealed within the hub body. Lightweight oversized aluminium axles.
- DT Revolution black spokes, specced by Keith and then laced to Mr Bontragers design: 24-spoke radial front, 28-spoke rear with radial on non-cassette side.
- Bontrager Ceramic rims (black). Light and strong, great braking and Bontrager dependability. Front and rear specific. The rear rim has off-centre spokes to balance the spoke tensions, dramatically increasing wheel strength by reducing dish. Typical brilliant yet simple Bontrager design. Which works great. All the other wheel manufacturers are doing this now, Bontrager and Ritchey were on it in the 1990's!
Remember PERFECT condition, just 30 miles light use. Include the original Velox rim tapes (also specced by Keith - these wheels are NICE and have had every attention to detail catered for by Mr Bontrager).
Being ceramics, braking with V's is as good as my Avid Elixir discs. Plus the rims should last forever and the DT Hugi 240 are legendary for longevity and have all spares available should you ever need them. Spokes are replaceable with new DT Revolutions or any standard spoke you require if you ever need to rebuild one.
