Both of these hubs are designed around the idea of having very wide flange spacing so as to build a stiffer wheel.  The Ligero SLW hub uses a triplet lacing pattern to balance the driveside and non-driveside spoke tension and has a titanium freehub body for durability.  Both hubs are made in the USA and are extremely good quality.

Spokes are DT Swiss Aerolite and I used Sapim SILS 14mm nipples.  Rim’s are the excellent Kinlin XR-270′s….front wheel is 20h radial, rear wheel is 24h.

Wheelset weight is 1405g and lateral stiffness and durability surpass any ‘factory’ wheelset at this price or weight.
