SuperLight Road Wheels with Chris King hubs and DT Swiss 415


Hub: DT Swiss 240s Front Hubs are superlight. The front is 108 grams and rear is only 220grams


DT Swiss 240s Hub

The DT Swiss 240s hubs are the innovative evolution of the legendary Hugi 240 hubs, famous for their unique ratcheting system. These super lightweight hubs use a stainless steel, quad-bearing system offering superb performance and durability. Hand built in Switzerland with the precision of a fine Swiss watch. Front 28 hole weighs in at a scant 108 grams and the rear is a light 220grams.

Rim: Mavic 719 in Black

Mavic 719 Rim

The XM 719 rim is a new rim in Mavic's "cross-mountain" family, replacing the F519 rim from years past. They're designed for heavier duty use than a pure cross-country rim, yet still offer lightweight performance that won't weigh you down. Mavic's Maxtal aluminum construction keeps them strong. The SUP and UB Control technologies provide a welded and machined rim joint and brake track, so the braking surface is perfectly smooth and round for predictable, grab-free braking power.

Spokes: The Wheelssmith DB14 spokes are double butted spokes in a 3 cross patern. Double butted means that the thickness of the spoke is greater at the end than in the middle (2.0-1.7-2.0mm in this case). The thinner section in the middle saves weight, and allows the spoke to stretch slightly as the wheel is subjected to stress while riding, resulting in fewer cracks around the spoke holes in the rim, and less stress at the elbow of the spoke. All Wheelsmith spokes are produced from a specially drawn 304 stainless steel using a variety of cold forging techniques. All of these processes work to increase strength and fatigue resistance.

Spoke Nipples: Anodized lightweight alloy

Alloy Nipples


Rim Strip: Velox Premium Rim Tape, the only rim tape we will use on our own wheels.


Reinforced cotton/polyester adhesive tape with a valve hole. This product has a proven efficiency the world over. That entire staff at Niantic Bay Bicycles uses Velox rim strips on all of our wheels.

Tire: Nokian Extreme 120


Nokian also makes the Extreme without the studs in the center. It's the same tire, just with fewer studs. The idea is that if you don't get much ice you can get away with fewer studs and save both some weight and some money. 120 studs. A bit lighter than the Extreme 294. I don't have the exact weight. Not a foldable tire.
