Aidan approached me wanting a pair of race wheels for events like Taupo, Tour of Northland etc.

Aidan is quite light so a nice light pair of wheels can be built for him to take advantage of. The XR-270 rims are perfect for this role as they’ve got great durability, good aerodynamics, and good stiffness.

The front Alchemy ELF hub is laced with 20 bladed Aerolite spokes. The rear DT Swiss 240s uses 24 of the same spokes, and all spoke nipples are red aluminium nipples.

1383 grams is lighter than any ‘off the shelf’ wheelset yet as with all Wheelworks wheels these have a 3 year guarantee against broken spokes.

These wheels are whisking their way to Auckland as I type.
