700c H+ Son TB14 Hard Anodised Black Rim, Black Bitex RAR12 Hubs Rear Wheels, 28 Spoked Wheels, 135mm QR, Shimano HG/Campagnolo/SRAM XDR

These 700c road bike rear wheels incorporate brand new hard anodised black H+ Son TB14 rim-brake 28 hole rims, brand new black Bitex RAR12 rear hubs. The TB14 was inspired by the classic aesthetics of rims from the era when steel frames ruled competitive cycling and benefits from contemporary improvements in rim manufacture and profile design. We have always admired the look of the classic box section rim. From sourcing double eyelets to crafting new moulds for the valve badge and its hardware, we dedicated neurotic attention and careful detail to every aspect of this rim. The pairing of a 23mm wide profile with a 23mm tire is fast becoming the industry standard for competitive road cycling. The wider rim adds stiffness and gives a profile that resembles a tubular tire. The advantage of this rim/tire profile can be felt immediately when taking corners as the tire is no longer shaped like a light bulb, flopping over with high loads. The TB14 is made with the stiffer and stronger G609 aluminium alloy and features our unique and invisible welded joint. Rims are anodized after machining. The Bitex RAR12 anodised and polished hubs weigh 215g and are suited to a wide variety of applications. The hubs are fitted with ABEC 5 TPI bearings which make them very reliable and durable. Choose between a standard 11 speed road Shimano HG freehub (supplied with a spacer for fewer speeds), 11/12 speed Campagnolo freehub, or SRAM XDR 12 speed driver. The six pawl freehubs (two sets of three) give 48pts of engagement making them very responsive. Hubs are set for 135mm quick release – skewer provided. The rims are 3-cross laced to the hubs with Sapim Leader silver stainless steel spokes and nickel plated brass nipples. Price includes insured and tracked postage.
