Wheelworks.co.nz, Handbuilt wheels by Tristan Thomas

This rear wheel is part of a pair using the Formula hub branded as Velocity which I used to be able to buy.  These are truly great hubs: Angled flanges, stiff steel axle, easy to service freehub body in Shimano or Campy, and great quality Japanese bearings…they’re reasonably light at 314g rear / 101g front and offered really great value, but alas no longer available.

This rear hub is laced to a Kinlin XR-270 rim using DT Swiss Revolution spokes.  The front hub will be laced either to an XR-200 or XR-270 to make a matching pair.
