Produced for us by premium OEM rim maker, this butt welded rim has good width and height, and at the same time weighing only 240g. When combining with aftermarket front and rear (deralleur) hubs, it can readily achieve a sub-900g wheelset weight. It is compatible with all currently available 349 sized tires, with the exception of Continental Contact Urban. This rim is the best combination of light weight and strength in our rim lineup.
Features:
Material AL-6066 (Stronger than the more common AL-6061)
Double wall construction
Welded joints
CNC sidewalls
Schrader valve
Weight: 240g ± 7g
Finishes: Hard anodized black
*Please note the hard anodizing will still wear and eventually expose the bare metal underneath. The time and distance it takes to wear will depend on the environment and weather in which the wheelset is being used. Wet and sandy conditions are known to accelerate the wear. The softer brake pads included with the wheelset will help to reduce the wear.
