These are a pair, front and rear, of road racing wheels built in our workshop in Brighton, Sussex. With over 50 years of wheel building experience between our two wheel builders thse wheels represent the best in hand built craft with the bonus of being UK brand Halo's road dedicated set up combining Devaura disc rims with universal RD hubs.

These wheels were fitted to a test a new road bike frame and were used for less than 100 miles of road riding. The frame is now being upgraded to carbon wheels and these wheels are avaialble for sale. They currently have One Performance RaceGuard TLE 700x28c Classic Skin tyres with Effeto Mariposa latex sealant. We will remove the tyres and valves, or you can purchase them as extras with the wheels, just let us know your preference.


RD series hubs

These are as dependable as they are light, designed for road disc applications and featuring straight pull spoke flanges and sealed cartridge bearings the RD series last, mile after mile.

The RD rear hub is a universal fitting hub and comes supplied as standard to fit 130mm or 135mm QR frames – using conventional 130mm road standard cranksets with a chainline of around 45mm.

This means you can run conventional 130mm 'road' chainline cranks and drive train on a 135mm/142mm frame that has short road length chainstays, or of course, on a 130mm frame.   

The RD front hub is fully adaptable due to its modular design, allowing for maximum bike compatibility.

Optional extra:  - allows hub to fit 12 and 15mm (x100mm) T-axle forks

Specifications

Devaura Disc rims

These are a tubeless ready clincher with an aerodynamic deep section profile, and a smooth sidewall. 24mm Wide for ultimate grip and lower rolling resistance, the Devaura rim is the racing edge.

Specifications


Halo black double butted stainless steel spokes with diameters of 2.0mm/1.8mm/2.0mm. Butted spokes are stronger than standard plain gauge spokes and offer more spring which is noticeable in the ride both due to added stiffness but also better shock absorption - a win win.


Weight front wheel: 840g
Weight rear wheel: 970g

Rear Wheel Options

Adapter kits to change Halo 6D Road Rear Disc hubs from 130mm OLD to 135mm OLD.

Option A. Use to fit a 135mm Disc frame with standard 130mm spaced cranks.
(Fits most crankset spacings).

  • Select the required Freehub option.
  • Select your choice of suitable disc only or universal rim.
  • Select the +2.5mm symmetrical adaptor kit. (LH 2.5mm and RH 2.5mm cones). 
  • Mount the adapter with XL bolts (supplied).
  • Mount an IS disc rotor.

Option B. Use to fit a 135mm Disc frame with 135mm specific spaced cranks.
(Use with SRAM road 135mm cranksets with 2.5mm off-set).

  • Select the required Freehub option.
  • Select your choice of suitable disc only or universal rim.
  • Select the +5mm asymmetrical adaptor kit. (LH 1 x 5mm cone, RH use Std cone)*.
  • Mount the adapter with XL bolts (supplied).
  • Mount an IS disc rotor.

Note: : this option requires the wheel to be re-dished 2.5mm towards the non-drive side to ensure more equalised spoke tension


Note:
In some circumstances, if using an MTB specific 10spd cassette in conjunction with a 135mm frame and a 130mm crank set-up (using the 2.5mm symmetric adaptor set) it is possible that you may encounter running difficulties in large sprocket to large chainwheel. This is due to a difference in cassette offset between Shimano MTB and Road 10spd sprockets. Fitting a Road-specific cassette will often solve the issue, or alternatively, switch to the asymmetric +5mm adaptor set and re-dish the wheel.


Front wheel options

15mm through axle version

This kit allows the RD Front hub to fit with both 12 and 15mm (x100mm) T-axle forks.

Simple to install (no tools required).

Note: End caps and tube axle for this system are not "captive". 

Please hold the axle conversion parts "safe" to avoid losing axle components when front wheel is removed.

Specifications

  • Material 7075 CNC machined alloy
  • Colour Black

12mm through axle version

To run these wheels with a 12mm through axle we add the 15mm through axle adaptor sleeve to the 15mm through axel conversion kit, this simple product allows 15x100mm thru axle front hub to run with road standard 12x100 through axle forks.

  • CNC machined 7075 alloy tube.
  • Anodised finish.
  • Lightweight at only 17g.
  • 15mm OD, 12mm ID x 100 (98.5mm long)

*Please note: Some 12mm through axle forks are only compatible with hubs which have end cones with a maximum outer diameter of 19mm. Most conventional MTB based 15mm thru axle hubs use end cones that have an outer diameter of 21mm or larger and therefore will not fit with the smaller 19mm fork slots.

Please check carefully before purchase that your fork will allow your existing outer hub cones to fit with your forks before purchasing the 15 to 12mm Adaptor Sleeve, as the sleeve does not reduce the outer diameter of the hub end cones.  If in doubt please contact us.
