Strong, light and durable wheels with quality components hand built in Bristol. We use Bitex BF106 hubs and the strong and dependable DT Swiss G540 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.

Hubs - Bitex BX106

Bitex hubs use ABEC5 TPI bearings, unless otherwise stated. They are among the best quality available. They help your hubs roll faster and for longer. The hubs are easy to take apart with basic tooling for servicing.

Bitex use their own patented 6 pawl design. There are two groups or pawls which work in teams of three simultaneously. Each pawl is held in place by a spring/clip and is also given an additional coil spring. This design is fast to engage, is quiet and is very durable. It provides either 48 or 56 point engagement, depending on the hub.

- For 12mm thru-axle 100mm front and 142mm rear spacing or quick release

- For centre-lock rotors

- Colour black (If you want coloured Bitex hubs please use the form on our custom wheel page)

Rims - DT Swiss G540 DB

• 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
• Robust, sleeved construction gives a great value package for a wide gravel rim
• Need a rim for cyclocross racing or just something a bit less specific? Check out the R 500 Cross Road, which is fully UCI compliant and a great option for 30-35c tyres
• Available in both 700c and 650B 'Road Plus' sizes for the new breed of multi surface adventure bikes
• A substantial 130 KG weight limit means these can be used for bike packing or light touring
• 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
• Can be run either with standard clinchers or road tubeless tyres using DT Swiss tubeless tape and valves
• Unique process for the black coating produces a tough and durable finish
• Suggested maximum system weight of 130 KG
• Presta drilling
• Outer width: 28 mm, Inner Width: 24 mm, Height: 25 mm
• Weight: 515 grams (650B) or 550 gram (700c)
