Wheels of the Day

Pretty much every day there are wheels being built (yeah, that's a duh!). The most interesting set in my view will be posted here.

Today it's going to be a set of EDGE Composites 1.0 38mm Carbon Rims, using Sapim CX-Ray straight pull Spokes to mate them with Extralite SP/SPM Hubs. They are for a sales rep, and I figure something eye opening light will get people's attention when he hands them to store owners. The last set of these I built was 976gm. With ceramic bearings and selecting the lightest rims, I'm hoping these will be below 950gm.

Well a final weight of 954gm was pretty good. Considering these will retail for around $2,800, it would take an extra $1-2,000 to get a lower weight setup from Lightweight or Lew! When the rims are in more regular production, it should be possible to Cherry Pick a lighter set for a build than this. The new 25mm rims when made would also offer the potential for something under 900gm!
