Hand built 700C 36 spoke 3 cross Clincher Rim Brake Only wheel set.
Commuting, Trekking, Touring, Cyclocross, and all other applications where wheel strength & durability is more an issue than wheel weight
All new components are as follows:
New Shimano Black 105 FH-5500 Rear 36 spoke Hub
Shimano hubs exclusively use a cup and cone bearing system in all of its hubs. Cup-and-cone bearings offer greater strength than sealed cartridge bearings due to their ability to displace lateral and vertical loads more effectively for super smooth rotation in real world riding conditions.
Cup-and-cone bearings also allow for easier maintenance, adjustability and serviceability.


Both 10/9/ 8-speed compatible. 7 Speed with 4.5 mm spacer
Smooth rolling: Super polished ball races for high precision, durability and smooth rotation.

New Shimano Black 105 HB-5501 Front 36 spoke Hub

New Black Alex Adventurer 36H rims
• Stainless Eyelets added strength

• Double wall with internal bracing for additional strength
• 18 mm tall profile

New Sapim Black Race DB 14/15 G spokes built 3 cross
New Sapim Black Polyax plated Brass Nipples

Spherically shaped nipple head improves spoke alignment and makes wheels more stable and reliable
Hand building and finishing methods and procedures:
• Wheels are radially and laterally trued to within 0.4mm
• Spokes are aligned to follow the shortest path from hub to rim.
• Spokes have all residual wind up removed.
• The hubs are also centered exactly in the middle of the wheels.
• The spoke tension is optimized in steps.
• Tension balanced within 10%
• The wheels are stabilized several times.
All these efforts provide long term stability and reliability in the wheels

If spoke breaks or the wheels go more than 0.5 mm out of true within 5 years after purchase, I will repair. You pay shipping both directions. Applies to normal riding conditions, not to wheel damage from accidents where the rim is bent or the chain derails into the spokes.
I have built over 1,000 Wheels
Wheels are for Local Cash & Carry only
Anything that appears to be an attempt at scamming will be reported!!
