Strong, light and durable wheels with quality components hand built in Bristol. We use the latest Shimano RS470 hubs and the strong and dependable DT Swiss R 500 rim. We bring both these components together using DT Swiss Competition double butted spokes and Prolock brass nipples.

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.
