The rim is 450g 24mm wide 22mm deep and supplied tubeless read. This is the perfect rim for this wheelset. Tyre fitting is fairly easy for tubed tyres and tubeless tyres are securley retained which means no reseating at the side of the road in case of a flat.
The wheelset is a stiff and reliable for all weather use including track racing.
Tubeless ready means stans rim tape, BORG 44mm tubeless valves and IRC tyre levers (i.e you are thinking about fitting tubeless tyres). Normal clinchers and tubes can be used as well.
Spokes used are sapim race front and rear with alloy nipples. A spoke prep is used to allow the wheels to be trued at a later date not that should ever be needed. The alloy nipples dont fail as I build them properly. Corrosion is not an issue.
The wheels are laced radial front and 2x rear. The pictures are of a lower spoke count set but these will be updated.
Silver means, silver rims, hubs, nipples and spokes. Black means, black hubs, nipples, spokes and black rims.
The single sided hubs use a asymmetric rim and the double sided hub use a symmetric rim. That way even tension balance is preserved.
Zenith track have large flanges and use big reliable cartridge bearings and hollow steel axles.
Wheelset weight is 1840g
Lower spoke counts are possible for a lighter wheel. There are no reliability issues with a lower spoke count.
