Pacenti Forza classico wheelset 24F/28R.
Pacenti was one of the orginal adopter wider rims. So bring your bike up to date with a 24mm external width rim, 20mm internal width and 25mm deep. Its for 700c bicycles that use rim brakes.
The wheels are handbuilt in the shop.
Highlights:
- A robust all weather wheelset.
- Shiney silver.
- Cartridge bearing hubs
- Stiff yet comfortable.
- Double butted Sapim spokes.
- Shimano, Campagnolo or XDR freehub.
- 24mm wide tubeless ready wheelset (tubed tyre compatible also).
- Life if the rim warranty.
- Weight from 1695g
- Dynamo option available.
The rear rim has offset drilling for increased NDS spoke tension (this is a good thing for spoke life). The internal width of this rim is 19mm and it has a 2mm thick spoke nipple bed. All tyres will sit wider on this rim than they would on a narrower one. This improves rider comfort due to the increased air volume and due to the different tyre shape handling in the bends particularly over broken road surfaces is improved. .
These wheels are robust and the rims are low cost meaning they are perfect training wheels and ideal for wet weather/winter use. 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
BORG wheels hubs get Pillar TB2018 triple butted spokes but Royce hubs get the Sapim race due to a difference in spoke hole size in the hub flanges. Silver alloy nipples are used (brass can be used on request). A stiff wheelset for nearly all riders weight limit 100kg.
Hubs - all 100/130mm OLD
BORG Wheels hubs
Our own hubs use alumium axles bearings fron 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,w SRAM XDR and Campagnolo 9/10/11/12 speed freehub bodies are available.
Simply reliable wheels that benefit from The Cycle Clinic life of the rim guarantee against going out of true/spoke failure, rim cracking (but not rim damage) and hub flange cracking.
