Luxe Wheelworks Tech Journal no.22

My time at this quaint little studio is coming to a close. I have enjoyed the experiences I've had here and look forward to improving upon them. 
These EDGE rims have a 66mm tall profile. They are very aerodynamic. 

They are on their way to NAHBS and will be featured on a show bike there.

There is plenty of room on these rims for decals.
These wheels will never again be this shiny and clean looking. That's OK with me. As a wheelbuilder I want my wheels to be used. That's why I emphasize strength and durability and use only the strongest, best made components. 

I fitted some Continental Competition 22mm tubular tires. 

The total weight for this wheelset came to 1370g. I wish I could have raced on wheels like this when I was in the Giro D'Italia. What I used then were box section, alloy clincher wheels with 32 round spokes on each wheel.
