Silver, and grey rims 32H are not currently available. I can build with silver 36H rims though.
H Plus Son make a classic box section rim called the TB14 but this one is 23mm wide. So classic but modern. Also this rim is wide enough take touring tyres so see this a rim for classicly styled bikes or touring bikes. The rim has double eyeletes and is available in 32H and 36H drillings. The rim is also available black grey or silver.
We are listing the build with Novatec 32F/32R A171/F172 (F272), or BORG wheels hubs
If a 36 spoke rear wheel build is needed just ask.
With the Novatec or Borg hubs wheelset weight is 1865g so hardly heavy for a 32 spoke build.
All wheels are assumed to be 100/130mm unless you say otherwise. Royce hubs can be had in other OLD's.
The Novatec hubs are campagnolo look alike hubs from the early 2000s and not overly expensive. They use cartridge bearings and a simple 3 pawl freehub body.
The BORG wheels hubs are my own development and use alumium axles with bearings from NTN and a 4 pawl 36T freehub mechanism. 6902 rear hub shell bearings are used and 6901 for the front. Shimano 8/9/10/11/12 speed freehub, SRAM XDR and Campagnolo 9/10/11/12 speed freehub bodies are available.
Black rims get black hubs and black spokes
Grey rims offered with silver hubs and spokes
Silver rims offered with silver hubs and spokes
Variation on this can be done but you would need to contact the shop.
The wheels come with velox 22 mm with rim tape fitted.
The Novatec hubs have matching QRs. The BORG hubs do not have any QRs included in the price.
If a Son dynamo is required in the front wheel this can be done at extra cost just contact the shop.
