Velocity Escape tubular rims, Corsa C3 hubs, Shimano. Handbuilt, 24 spoke 2x front, 28 spoke 3x rear. 130 rear spacing. Super light and strong, <1500g for the wheelset. With a rim weight of only 390g, these things spin up like crazy and are a joy to race! (Escape rims are like Major Tom's, but lighter and slightly narrower) As light and fast as carbon but with the convenience of alloy wheels. Challenge Limus tires are glued/taped but should be reinstalled. These were raced 3 times. That's it--they're practically new--perfectly true. These would also make great road racing wheels. $299 on CL, but $275 for OBRA.
