Nick’s Edge 68mm clinchers with PowerTap SL2.4 wireless
Nick’s super-bling road wheelset: Edte 68mm carbon clincher rims laced to the new-model PowerTap SL2.4 with Ant+ support. The Ant+ version talks with a Garmin Edge 705 computer / GPS unit to record heartrate, gps position, as well as speed, power being produced etc etc.
The front hub is a light weight 16 hole Tune Mig70. Spokes are DT Swiss Aerolite with Pillar internal nipples.
Wheelset weight was 1653 grams which sounds heavy until you realize that these wheels are clincher, have a huge aero advantage, measure power, and are still lighter than a Ksyrium SL :-)
Getting the rims was a nightmare and took a lot longer than it should have – Nick was patient and the finished pair was hopefully worth the wait.
