The BORG31 Disc is a disc brake only wheelset for whatever and where ever you want to go. Road riding, CX/Gravel use or touring. It is built for high miles with minimal servicing. The wheels are aerodynamic, robust and very stiff. Yes they are not the lightest but neither do they feel heavy.

- A robust all weather wheelset.
- 700C
- Reliable cartridge bearing hubs.
- Centrelock rotor mounts
- 31mm deep.
- 24mm wide tubeless tyre ready rims.
- Stiff yet comfortable.
- Triple butted Sapim aero spokes.

- 16000km warranty.
- Weight 1685g

Please state at checkout if 100/135mm QR, 12mm TA or 100*12/142*12mm for Cannondale offset bikes is required.
The weight should not concern you too much as wheels dont have to be light to feel responsive.
The rim is 500g in weight and very stiff but the wheels do absorb road buzz. Stiff is not uncomfotable. The only drilling I use is 24H because that is all anyone needs. The rim is 19mm wide internally 24mm external width. It is 31mm deep and is tubeless ready (tubeless rim tape is installed on every wheelset). Normal clinchers can be run of course.
The spokes used are Pillar Wing 21. These are aero spokes but they are thicker in the blade section than the CX-Ray/wing21 and they have a 2.2mm diameter at the elbow. Black alloy nipples are used and Sapim nipple freeze acts as a thread locker and corrosion inhibitor.
The hubs used are BORG Wheels with centrelock rotor mounts (pictures show different)
Freehub bodies for
- Shimano 8/9/10/11/12 speed
- XDR 12 speed driver
- Campagnolo 9/10/11/12 speed freehub
- Campagnolo N3W 13 speed freehub
- Shimano Microspline
are available and are interchangeable.
The freehub has 4 independently spring loaded pawls and a 36T ratchet ring. It is advisable to re-grease the freehub mechanism with good grease like Rock n Roll Super Web to keep the hub quiet and to stop water ingress weakening the spring.
They are a large flange design because large flange hub reduces the braking loads on the spokes compared to small flange designs. The front hub has 2x NTN 6902 LLB bearings and the rear hub has 2x NTN 6902 LLB. The freehub body has 1x NTN 6902 LLB and 1x NTN 6802 LLB for shimano and 1x 2x 6803 bearing for Campagnolo, XDR and N3W freehubs . All spares are available.
So, in short, this wheelset uses all the tricks I know to create a stiff reasonably light but robust wheelset that will give you smiles for miles
