Good value semi-deep section alloy wheelset for race, training or general road riding.


 

Kinlin XC279 semi-deep light alloy rims. Choice of 20/24 or 24/28 spokes for 'sporty'  and all round use. Rim brake only. Plain gloss black finish with machined brake tracks. Wider than standard rims at 23mm wide and suitable for tyre sizes between 23mm and 32mm. 6.5mm valve hole suitable for Presta valve tubes.  Suitable for riders up to 105kg. (90kg recommended for 20/24 spoke builds)

The Kinlin XC279 rims are good looking, sturdy and have decent aero qualities. 

 

Hubs for the 20/24 set are the really light Novatec A291SB and F482SB in black. The 24/28 spoke set uses either Novatec A171/F172 or Miche Primato depending on rider weight. Road bike standard 100mm wide front hub and 130mm wide rear hub. Suitable for 11 speed Shimano/SRAM road and 8,9 and 10 speed Shimano/SRAM cassettes with the supplied spacer. The hubs contain high quality Japanese made EZO sealed bearings which are light and very free running. These are easily replaced when worn with simple hand tools.

 

The spokes are high quality Belgian made silver Sapim Race 2.0/1.8/2.0 double butted. Double butted spokes are both lighter and stronger for their diameter than standard plain gauge spokes. Made from 100% stainless steel and fastened with silver brass nipples. 

The 20 and 24 spoke front wheels are laced in a Radial pattern for minimum weight and improved aerodynamics. The 24 and 28 spoke rear wheels are built with a 2X pattern for strength.  . 

 

Total wheelset weight is a very respectable 1608g for the 20/24 spoke version rising to 1731g for the 24/28 spoke version..
