Rory’s 1409 gram Alchmey ELF, DT Swiss 240s laced with Aeroilte spokes to XR-270 rims
The Alchemy ELF is a great front hub – it’s combination of wide flanges and light weight mean that it can be laced into very stiff, light wheels.
I paired the ELF with the excelent DT Swiss 240s rear hub. The 240 has the best freehub body mechanism on the market and is extremely durable.
The spokes are bladed DT Swiss Aerolites laced 20 hole radial on the front wheel and 28 hole 2-cross on the rear wheel. Spokes nipples are DT Swiss aluminium.
The hub and rim decals are red because that’s the fastest colour :-)
