    This wheelset is a 66mm, full carbon clincher. For more details check out there website http://www.edgecomposites.com/wheels/road/65.aspx

    The major difference in these wheels is that they have a patented process where they mold in the spoke holes. All other manufacturers drill the spoke holes which weakens the surrounding area. Carbon fiber gets its strength from running continuous, not broken fibers. Routing the fibers around the hole effectively increases the strength of the area around the spoke hole, thus allowing us to build a higher tensioned wheel. That's up to 130kg in the front and 150kg on the drive side rear. A stronger spoke hole also reduces the possibility of spoke pull through. A conical surface is molded into the inside of the rim to optimize the interface with the Pillar nipple. This allows the spoke to articulate as it exits the spoke hole, ensuring that it won't bind on the rim; greatly reducing the possibility of spoke breakage.

    These wheels have about 500 miles on them, and are both true. The front is a 20 spoke radially laced on a DT Swiss Hub, the rear is a 28 spoke radial laced non-drive side, 1 x drive side on a Velomax hub with a Campy freehub body. I will include a Shimano freehub body with it as well. The instructions to switch it over can be found at the Easton/Velomax website...pretty easy to do.

    These are built to be a strong durable wheel and can easily handle a heavier or clydesdale type rider.

    I will also include a Wheel Builders rear wheel cover with the wheelset.

    No skewers included.

    These wheels are designed with an elevated brake track to reduce heat build up and provide a better braking surface than a traditional carbon rim. The front rim has a small ding in the brake track. It doesn't affect performance or structure of the wheel, however that is why the cost is lower in comparison to what you would pay for these elsewhere.

    $1400 plus shipping. I'm open to reasonable offers. Contact me with any questions or pictures.
