Just what the title says: HED Stinger "Fat" Carbon Tubular Wheelset. Wheels are used, but rims are true, hubs spin smooth, and brake track is in very good shape.

Here's the lowdown:
Front: 610 grams, SCT Four (45mm) rim, 27 mm total width, 18 silver bladed spokes (exposed nipples--easy truing), radial lacing
Rear: 850 grams, SCT Five (50mm) rim, 27 mm total width, 24 silver bladed spokes (exposed nipples--easy truing), 2 cross lacing
Front hub is HED carbon body; rear hub is HED aluminum with grease injection port and cover with Shimano 10spd freehub

These wheels have the wide rim for aerodynamics (and great gluing bed) with the snub nose. The medium rim height means they will be a little more forgiving on the rough roads and in crosswinds.

Includes HED skewers (back one is beat-up from a trainer clamp) and valve extenders

Gluing beds need a solid cleaning.

Are you planning to do any gravel grinders this year? Maybe the Gorge Roubaix? Add your own Vittoria Pave 27mm tires, some Caffelatex or Stan's sealant, and some Swissstop brake pads for carbon rims, and you're ready for the Spring Classics.

I picked these up two years ago for a return to road racing that hasn't happened (yet, anyway). I'd like to turn them into money and get them out of my garage. Might consider a reasonable offer, but if you don't beat me up on price, I'll throw in a SRAM Red 11-23 10 spd cassette (lightly used).
