Ryde have released the first road disc brake only rim to the market. There is no brake track so I suppose track riders may like it. This is the first build I have done with them. The hubs picked are novatec D711/D712 hubs with a 11 speed freehub. The spokes are Sapim D-light and the rims are 32H. 3x lacing has been used of course and these are light at 1450g. The rims weigh 337g each.

The internal width of the rim is 15mm and it is tubeless compatible. The Cycle Clinic now stocks this rim and thesehubs. Contact us for further details.

Pacenti SL23 rims are 445g rim that is 24mm wide (18.5mm internal width) 26mm deep and very stiff. This build is 20 spoke front and a 24 rear. The rim also does a respectable job of being aerodyamic due to its round rim profile.

The White Industries T11 hubs are light and they do look good. They are available in silver or pretty anodised colurs for a surcharge. This wheelset is £666 and my it is one I want to keep. Shame they are paid for and the customer wants them.

For a while now the pro peleton's choice for the spring bike destorying classic in Flanders has been the Ambrosio Nemesis rim althoug now a greater number of carbon rims are seen. This rim is 490g and is quite stif for a shallow rim. It's 21mm width helps here. It is a tubular rim because on cobble tubulars tyre are the best.

This wheelset is built using Campagnolo record hubs, and black Sapim Race spokes as was shipped to a rider in the armed force in Germany who will be riding Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix (as an amateur though). It is also my choice of rim for RVV. It is even a stiff wheel set.
