Wheelworks.co.nz, Handbuilt wheels by Tristan Thomas

The Zipp 808 rim is the closest thing you can get to a disk wheel:  They’re damn fast!

These 808 track tubulars are laced to Shimano DuraAce large-flange hubs.  The rear hub is double-sided so two cogs can be fitted to make gear changes easier through the day.

Spokes are bladed Sapim CX-Ray’s to help with the aerodynamics.  There are 28 spokes front and rear which will build into a really stiff pair of wheels.

These rims took a long time to arrive but were hopefully worth the wait :-)
