Custom Hand Built Velocity Cliffhanger / Shimano XT 36spoke Wheelset, Heavy Duty for Clydesdales or for Touring bikes or to take you on your next Bikepacking adventure!
We originally built this wheelset for a customer who will be doing long loaded tours in Latin America and Southeast Asia!
SPECIFY whether you want your wheels built with 26", 27.5 ( 650b) or 700c rims!
These wheels are hand built in our shop! They arrive to you trued, tensioned, and ready to ride! Please allow us a build time of up to two weeks after purchase to secure parts and finish the bulid.
The Velocity Cliffhanger rim is tubeless-ready or you can use inner tubes. With a 30mm outer width and a 25mm inner width these rims are perfect for tires that are 32mm up to 65mm (1.25" to 2.5"). Short stout sidewalls protect against pinch flats and denting from impacts. Tubeless rim tape fo 24mm to 30mm wide is recommended even if you are using inner tubes.
The Sapim 'Strong' spokes are extremely durable with a thicker 2.3mm diameter at the J-Bend of the spoke (where most breakage occurs) and 2.0mm throughout the rest of the length. These spokes are rated at 1,600,000 cycles before failure compared to 980,000 cycles of a traditional double butted spoke. Brass spoke nipples are used for durability.
