Please note the pictures need updating for the new hubs
The H Plus Archetype rim comes in a lovely grey black or polished silver colour. I lace these up with silver Sapim spokes and silver BORG wheels hubs. The rims are 23mm wide and 25mm deep. They are stiff, in fact the wheels are very stiff and this helps prolongs spoke life. The rims are not tubeless tyre compatible.
The wheels are handbuilt in the shop. The hubs are my own design utlising all the features I like.
Highlights:
- A robust all weather wheelset.
- Shiney silver.
- Cartridge bearing hubs
- Stiff yet comfortable.
- Double butted Sapim spokes.
- Shimano or Campagnolo freehub.
- 24mm wide tubeless ready wheelset (tubed tyre compatible also).
- Life if the rim warranty.
- Weight from 1720g
- Dynamo option available.
These wheels are robust and the rims are low cost meaning they are perfect training wheels and ideal for wet weather/winter use while still looking good. They are supplied tubeless ready with tubeless tape, valves and IRC tyre levers. 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
Silver triple butted spokes are used.
