Wheelworks.co.nz, Handbuilt wheels by Tristan Thomas

Chris King hubs are simply awesome:  Top shelf quality, durability and price.  It’s great to see a pair of hubs getting well used and standing up to the test of time.

These v-brake hubs were due for a rebuild and saving some weight was a great option so I rebuilt the hubs onto Stan’s ZTR 355 rims with a v-brake track.

Spokes at DT Swiss Revolution on the front and non-driveside rear.  The driveside rear spokes are the stiffer, heavier Competition spokes.  Aluminium nipples on the front wheel and brass on the rear save a few grams and helped these wheel come in at a very respectable 1440 grams.
