The BORG45 Disc wheelset uses a 45mm deep and 26mm wide rim. It is stable on windy days and is still deep enough to provide an aerodynamic advantage. It is suitable for disc brake equipped bicycles only.
The rim is tubeless compatible and is supplied with tubeless tape. Tubed tyres can still be fitted of course. Tubeless valves are also supplied.
Given the rim has a 19mm internal width the minimum inflated width is 25mm and the rims can accommodate tyres up to 40mm in width. Much wider and the tyres start to light bulb.
The spokes used are Sapim CX Rays with black alloy nipples. If silver brass are desired, please advise when ordering. Spoke count is 24 front and 24 rear. Lacing is 2x.
