Uphill Grind "Barlow" Wheel Set

Hand built at Uphill Grind by someone you can talk to. Less likely to break spokes or go out of true than machine-built wheels.

• Velocity 700c A23 Rims—“all the rage” according to Velo News
  • Run lower pressure for a more comfortable ride
  • Lower rolling resistance and better aerodynamics than conventional rims
  • Straighter sidewalls than conventional rims to improve cornering and reduce potential for pinch flats
• Cartridge Bearing Velocity Hubs – their best.
• Premium Sapim CX-Ray bladed spokes
  • Radial—front (24)
  • Radial, non-drive; three-cross, drive—rear (28)
• 1500 grams per wheelset – As light as or lighter than comparable name-brand wheels and lower in price.  (Bontrager® Race X Lite®: 1520 grams, $899, Mavic® Ksyrium Elite®: 1550 grams, $700)
• 1 year warranty includes “truing”
• $650 for a wheel set includes skewers and rim tape.
