The BORG26 wheelset provides guaranteed reliability in all conditions. The wheels are built with high mileage riders in mind and therefore suits everyone else. Those that ride in the foulest of conditions and simply need dependable wheels. Dependable does not have to heavy though. The BORG26 have every detail covered. 

There are a few versions with BORG hubs, Miche hubs or entry level option with Shimano tiagra hubs all using a black rim.

24F/28R and 32F/32R with silver BORG wheels hubs and silver spokes

32F/32R with Miche Primato syntesis hubs and black spokes

32F/32R with Shimano Tiagra silver RS400 hubs and silver spokes

The BORG26 is the beefer brother of the BORG22. It has a deeper stiffer rim and a higher spoke count is available. 

Highlights:

• A robust all weather wheelset for rim brakes.
• Stiff yet comfortable.
• Triple butted Sapim spokes.
• Shimano 8/9/10/11 speed, SRAM AXS 12 speed or Campagnolo 9/10/11/12 speed freehub.
• 24mm wide tubeless tyre ready rims (tubed tyre compatible also).
  
• 26mm deep rims.
• Life of the rim warranty.
• Hand built in the shop.
• Weight from 1840g -32 spoke
• Black hub, rim and spokes.

The wheels are handbuilt in the shop.  I call these BORG26 because they are 26mm deep. They are my all weather training wheelset. The rims are not expensive if they need to be replaced and the hubs, well they love the wet. Bearing life is long in all conditions. 

The rim is 24mm wide and 26mm deep. It weighs 475g. The rear rim has offset drilling for increased NDS spoke tension (this is a good thing for spoke life). The internal width of this rim is 19mm and it has a 2mm thick spoke nipple bed. All tyres will sit wider on this rim than they would on a narrower one. This improves rider comfort due to the increased air volume and due to the different tyre shape handling in the bends, particularly over broken road surfaces is improved. 

These wheels are robust and the rims are low cost meaning they are perfect training wheels and ideal for wet weather/winter use. They are supplied tubeless ready with tubeless tape, valves and IRC tyre levers. Tubed tyres can of course be fitted and are an easy fit. Even Schwalbe Marathons fit with ease. The levers are supplied because they are best levers I have tried and make fitting of every tyre I have tried so far easy. 

Spokes and nipples

24F/28R and 32F/32R set use Sapim Force spokes but we are switching to Pillar TB2018. Both these spokes are triple butted and very similar and inter changable.

Silver hubs get silver spokes black hubs get black spokes

Hubs - all 100/130mm OLD

• Miche Primato hubs are used for most build options. They have proven themselves and give many thousands of miles of trouble free all weather use. The bearings are 2x6001 C3 in both the front and rear hub shells. The rear freehub has 2x 6901 bearings. The axles front and rear are 12mm diameter and made of steel. The front and rear hub are a free axle design making disassembly really simple. Both the front and rear hub have a bearing preload adjuster which should be set once the wheels are installed in the bike. 

• Shimano 8/9/10/11 speed freehub, SRAM XDR/AXS 12 speed and Campagnolo 9/10/11 speed freehub bodies.

BORG Wheels hubs

• These hubs have a nice silver or black finish to them, utilise NTN bearings from this Japense bearing giant in 6902 size for the rear hub and 6901 size for the hub. The freehub is easy to service with bearing placed in such a way they can be knocked out with the simplest of tools. The freehub contains 4 independantly sprung pawls in a over sized 36T ratchet ring giving 36 points of engagement
• Shimano 8/9/10/11 speed freehub, SRAM XDR/AXS 12 speed and Campagnolo 9/10/11 speed freehub bodies.

Shimano Tiagra RS400

• these entry level hubs use Shimano's "cup and cone" design which works quite well. They are not the lightest hubs but are quite robust and can be serviced anywhere with just cone spanners.
