This American Classic built rear wheel had seen better days – a couple of the non-name spokes had broken and been repaired but generally once spokes start to break they will continue.

I rebuilt the PowerTap SL wireless rear hub onto a new Kinlin XR-270 rim. The XR-270 is much stiffer than the AMC 420 which it replaces so there shouldn’t be any more brakepad-rub.

DT Swiss Competition spokes and black brass nipples tie the wheel together.
