Subject: HED '04 Alps Wheelset

HED-'04 Alps

These are a brand new wheelset, I have them available in 650c-700c clincher or tubular.

The Alps is our best spoked wheel to date.. The rims are structural carbon hoops with a lightweight alloy rim cap. An alloy rim section lets you brake confidently in any weather using any brake pad. The carbon is high modulus, laid over a high strength foam core, and the alloy cap is bonded to the rim. The spokes pass through the carbon to the alloy section. Anchoring the spokes at the alloy section keeps the rim light – no additional material is needed as a strain relief to counter the spoke tension.

Rim depth is 50mm. Since the rim is stronger than a Jet rim, we can lower the spoke count to 18 front and 24 rear. A lower spoke count is possible, but we like to keep it at 18 and 24 for durability and peace of mind. If you happen to have a mishap that causes a spoke to break, you should be able to ride the wheel home instead of walking home on your cleats. The Alps has about the same drag as a Jet 60.

With a 50mm rim, the alps is rideable in almost any wind condition. If it is too windy for the Alps, it is probably too windy for any aero wheel.

Available in clincher and tubular, 650 and 700. Bladed 6/4 ti spokes front and bladed steel spokes rear. Sonic hubs.
Price-$985

TRi-CYCLiNG MULTiSPORT.
