A range of our custom wheel builds...
1282g Tune Airways41 Skyline disc
Tune Airways41 are available with a standard or disc specific rim. This wheelset was built for Simon's UP and to be primarily used as the road wheelset, with 26mm external ideal for 28mm road tyres, but also be CX compatible and approved. As we wanted the aero properties of the rims but also keep the weight to a minimum, this wheelset was built with Sapim CX-Super spokes dropping the weight from the standard 1318g to 1282g. Hubs are Tune's Skyline disc hubs the Princess15 Straightpull and Prince Straightpull 142x12.
Built for Simon's OPEN UP

1447g 26" Tune trail / AM wheelset
Requirement for this wheelset which was built for a Liteville 301, was to use the best components we could sourse for a ligthweight and stealthy trail / Am wheelset. Tune's Skyline range of hubs, the Princess Skyline front hub and and Prince rear hub were selected with a low but sufficient spoke count of 24 Sapim CX-Ray spokes. Rims were Tune's Twenty4 rims (24 hole Stans Flow rims). The carbon tied spoke crossings together with the Stans rims provide plenty of stiffness and make for a low spoke count yet tough wheelet.

Syntace / Tune 26+ wheelset
This wheelset was specifically built for the Surly Dirt Wizard 2.75 26+ tyres for which you need a 650b compatible frame and fork, but the rim diameter is 26". The perfect choice of course were the Syntace W40 rims, stiff and robust and an internal width of 33.5mm. Hub choice here was 32 hole King Kong hubs and spokes our favourites: Sapim CX-Ray.

1700g 26" Tune DH wheelset
This wheelset was built for Craftwork's Factory Team DH racers. The requirement was simply strong but lighter than the commonly used DH wheelsets from Mavic and DT Swiss, and of course good looking with bright colours. It also needed to suit the requirements of a DH bike with 20mm front axle and 150mm rear axle spacing. Used were Tune's King MK and Kong MK hubs and laced to Strong and wide Alex Supra 30 rims, the same Germany's 14x DH Champ Marcus Klausmann runs with Sapim Di-Ligth double butted spokes.
