Fierce Feline

This standard build is based around the Velocity A23 clincher rim. With its 19.5mm depth and 23mm width, this is a solid workhorse rim that handles well in crosswinds, is solidly stiff enough for sprints, and light enough to climb with the best of them.

 

 

These are paired to a set of lightweight, user-serviceable hubs by either double-butted round or bladed spokes for a wheelset that is strong enough to stand up to a fair bit of abuse while being light enough to be reserved for race day. (This is the build that I use on my cyclocross bike and I love it.)

 

The standard build for the Fierce Feline is approximately 1360-1400 grams for a 20 spoke front wheel and 24 spoke rear wheel. (the range accounts for variations in the manufacturing proccess of the individual components, though they tend to build up on the lower end of that range). They are $400 with round spokes or $475 with bladed spokes.

 

Ask about the Garfield build for a more "robust" set of wheels.
