Luxe Wheelworks Tech Journal no.12


.

Velocity A23 clincher rims, Wheelsmith alloy nipples, Sapim CX-Ray spokes and DT Swiss 240 hubs for a Campagnolo drivetrain.

DT Swiss make a radial-specific 240 front hub. This is one of them. 

DT Swiss include lock rings on their 240 Campagnolo rear hub. Their max torque spec is 30Nm. 

I laced the rear 24H wheel 2X.

The front wheel is 20H laced radially. 

This wheel's label. 



I removed the DT Swiss hub logos per my customer's request.

The Ritchey Rim Strips weigh approximately 20g each. They interface well with the Velocity rims.  



630g front, 775g rear, makes 1405g total wheelset weight. Weight is not everything but it does matter to the racer who will use these wheels. 

This should be a fun winter bike for riding in NH. I'm looking forward to doing some exploring.
