Legend has it that an offer to provide OEM wheels for a certain well known Italian component manufacturer was even refused by the "Boss" on grounds of moral principle ... which is rare these days. By “engineered” we mean that the precise spoke tensions to which each wheel is built takes into account the specific characteristics of the rims, spokes, nipples and hubs employed. Getting a wheel true on the stand is a relatively simple thing to do ... talk to any LBS. Developing a wheel that "stays" true under rigorous laboratory testing is rather different. Just a sk wheel companies about “lateral stress testing” and reality testing under "competitive riding conditions". Notably, the specification spoke tensions for the front wheel as well as the drive and non-drive side of rear wheels each differ and have been calibrated to optimise stiffness, resilience and thus durability. Indeed, each wheel must pass through a rigorous Pro-Lite QC process requiring: · Complete hand lacing and tensioning · Stressing (by specialized equipment) and re-truing by hand a minimum of three times to “seat” the build · Each front wheel comes complete with a serial number and bar code that can be used to identify the build date and builder for each wheel Beyond the minimum three rounds of stressing and re-truing, each wheel is also subject to inspection for evenness in spoke tensions. This is the CRUCIAL, often overlooked and essentially “invisible” element determining the long-term durability of a bicycle wheel. (An evenly tensioned wheel is better able to disperse shocks from road imperfections “throughout” the wheel rather than stressing a number of highly tensioned spokes which are then more likely to loosen or break.) Pro-Lite takes this step further requiring the inspection of each and every spoke with a DT-Swiss spoke tension meter which each and every one of its wheelsmiths are required to re-calibrate each and every morning for accuracy Rim : H PLUS SON Archetype (23mm inner width compatible with tire sizes up to 62mm) Hub : Shutter Precision PL-7 12x100 Thru Axle, Centerlock, hub dynamo (409 g w/o QR). Wheels come c omplete with 1) a convertor for 12x100 Thru Axle to standard 9mm QR, 2) a beautiful IDC machined sleeve to cover the Centerlock spline when used with rim brakes and 3) our IDC/Ashima adaptor for Centerlock to 6 hole disc brake Spokes : Front wheel: DT Swiss Competition (14/15/14 - 2.0/1.8/2.0). Double butted black finished stainless steel for strength, resilience and durability Nipples: Front Wheel: DT Swiss black brass to protect against galvanic seizing with the spoke while also protecting the exterior of the nipple against corrosion Lacing : Competition tested 28 hole 2 cross pattern for light weight without compromising resilience or durability * Although this seller is based in Taiwan, the wheels are warehoused in California and will be shipped from there * * Free shipping is available only to the contiguous 48 United States.
