Wheelworks.co.nz, Handbuilt wheels by Tristan Thomas

The Alpine is the latest rim from Stan’s and is designed to replace their Olympic with the newer Bead Socket Technology they’ve developed for the Crest and Alpine.  At a 327g this is a very light rim.

I laced it to Kah’s Lefty front hub using DT Swiss Revolution spokes and black alloy nipples.  Total wheelset weight was 593 grams.

I applied both pink and white decals.  Secretly I think Kah wanted pink but was too scared to ask – this way he can peel off the colour he doesn’t want :-)

The wheel was delivered with the 21mm Stan’s yellow tape and a tubeless valve ready for use.
