Wheelbuilding | Alloy Rim Weights

Posted by Elite Custom on

To help pick out the appropriate set of rims for your custom wheel build, we've broken them into two main groups: Standard Rims & Disc Rims.  To make things easier, we've further broken these groups into Categories, based on their dimensions. (ie Width and Depth) and sorted them according to their Weight. These 3 specifications are the main attributes to consider to optimise your ride performance and overall experience.  Here are some bullet points to help you along: style of riding (ie, criterium, century, touring) terrain (ie, tarmac, gravel, cobbles) distance  gradient  wind conditions optimal tyre size frame / brake clearance -------------------------- ...

Project E.22 by Elite Wheelworks

Posted by Elite Custom on

We've been working hard and cracking our heads to put together a wheel combination that is super light weight, affordable as well as durable. In addition to reliability, we want a product with serviceability and compatibility - that means no proprietary hubs, spokes and rims. To start, we picked out some of the wheelsets dominating the Alu-Clincher market.  From the chart below, we derived some goals for ourselves, to not only out perform existing wheelsets, but to distinguish it from with rest by a hefty margin.  Model Weight Price (est.)
