67 | Ascend

£1,365

Our 67|Ascend signature build was born out of the desire to achieve an unparalleled aerodynamic to weight ratio without sacrificing durability. This wheelset is for the type of rider seeking a single option capable of smashing a hill climb challenge one day, then winning a time trial the next without even breaking a sweat.

Featuring our 67mm deep, 28 to 30mm wide rims, ovalised CX-Ray spokes, top of the range SKF bearings, 60 points of engagement, and weighing in at 1525g; on paper this wheelset is seriously impressive, but just wait till you actually ride them…

    Features

    67d | 28w Rims

    Aero | Wide | Stable

    We have carefully selected our premium line of road disc brake rims to provide an optimal balance between weight and strength through the full range of discipline orientated depths; ranging from hill climber 35mm to time trial 67mm options. 

    Our 67d|28w rims sit at the aero end of the range, but at 518g they are no heavy weight either. This makes them the ideal choice for anyone seeking seriously aerodynamic wheels which are more than capable of tackling even the hilliest of rides.

    Boutique Italian Hubs

    Italian Production | Feather Weight

    Our 67  | Ascend wheelset features the epitome of Italian engineered hubs at their core. The SP CL X-Hubs are provided by Carbon Ti; an Italian engineering and manufacturing firm specialising in titanium alloys and carbon material components. A perfect basis for producing some of the lightest hubs on the market.

    The straight pull spoke interface plays a significant part in achieving this wheelset’s 1525g weight, but ensures there is no sacrifice of strength or lateral stiffness with the build. Also boasting top of the range SKF bearings and 56 points of engagement around a titanium ratchet ring, these hubs not only fly, but sound great and have impressively low drag.

    Confidence Inspiring

    28 to 30mm Wide | Super Stable Profile

    Voluminously wide at 28mm at the tyre interface, expanding to 30mm at the widest point and boasting a rim profile which looks like it should act like a sail in cross winds, but instead just urges you to go faster, these wheels will surprise and inspire through endless grip and impressive stability no matter what the road and weather throws at you that day.

    Precision Layup

    Filament Wound | Matt UD Finish

    The filament wound manufacturing process using Toray carbon T700 provides unparalleled consistency and precision in the carbon layup. This provides you with a stronger rim without stress concentrations; avoiding long-term fatigue failure.

    Thanks to carbon layering radiating at increasing angles between spoke hole and tyre bed, transmission forces are more efficiently transferred from spoke to tyre to tarmac. Furthermore, the winding process achieves precise layering reinforcement around the spoke holes – the point of highest stress – and refines the layers where less structural integral – between the spokes.

    Laced With Love

    Vertical Compliance | Lateral Stiffness

    We have selected Sapim CX-Ray spokes for our 67 | Ascend wheelset to provide the ultimate in aerodynamic to weight ratio while retaining plenty of lovely, comfortable, vertical compliance. Rest assured though, you need not sacrifice lateral stiffness thanks to being lovingly laced and skilfully built with Sapim HM Nipple Washers to improve spoke head angle and spread spoke tension load onto a wider area of the spoke bed of the rim.

    Wheel Builders

    More Than a Brand

    We believe our customers deserve honesty, quality and great service. We are proud to say; all our wheels are hand built, in house, in the UK, by us. This gives us complete quality control and provides the opportunity for us to display the craftsmanship and skill of our trade with every wheel we build.

    See beyond the marketing hype – as a rule of thumb you can differentiate a marketing brand from a wheel builder by their ability to offer customisation of their wheels with alternative components (such as different hubs or spokes to suit your needs). Many brands simply pick from a list of available components from a third party overseas manufacturer who factory or ‘hand’ builds the wheels, then stamp the brand name on the side. These are then imported and sold with a hefty brand tax which provides no direct benefit to you the rider.
