🔥 Pure gravel performance 🔥

Deze exclusieve gravel-wielset is opgebouwd met DT Swiss 350 naven, Sapim CX-Ray spaken en de moderne Duke Baccara SLR2 WRX velgen met een interne breedte van 28 mm. Een combinatie van betrouwbaarheid, lage weerstand en moderne geometrie, ontwikkeld voor snelle en comfortabele gravelritten.

De brede interne velg is geen marketingpraatje, maar pure functionele winst. Voor gravelbanden boven de 42 mm – inmiddels steeds normaler, ook in Nederland – biedt dit een duidelijke voorsprong. De band krijgt een mooiere, stabielere vorm, rolt efficiënter en geeft meer vertrouwen op snelheid. Je kunt met lagere druk rijden zonder in te leveren op stabiliteit, wat direct zorgt voor meer comfort en minder vermoeidheid op lange ritten.

Meer contactoppervlak betekent ook meer grip. In losse bochten, op natte ondergrond of grof gravel blijft de fiets rustiger en voorspelbaarder aanvoelen. Het rijgedrag wordt stabieler, vooral wanneer je tempo maakt of technisch terrein niet uit de weg gaat.

Dit is een wielset voor rijders die snelheid, comfort en controle willen combineren. Met zorg gebouwd, met oog voor detail, en klaar voor hoe gravel vandaag écht gereden wordt.

Viggo from Denmark contacted me a while ago asking me if I could come up with a wheelset built up with European components. Nothing from Asia or other parts of the world. After some discussions we came up with a very special wheelset which will perfectly fit his Pinarello

Rims:
Beast makes all kinds of carbon products in Dresden, Germany. Cockpits, stems, rims. You name it. Quality is top notch as is the finish.

Hubs: .cc
Qvist deputed a couple of years ago with their revolutionary double ratchet hub system. Twice the engagement points. Less wear on the ratchet system. Completely protected from the weather elements as the driving system is completely hidden in the hub instead of being situated between the hub and body where water can ingress. For more info head over to their Instagram account and their website. Qvist parts are also manufactured in Dresden, Germany

Spokes and ni***es:

A classy classic. All in black. Matchy matchy with just everything.
The trusty DT Swiss 240 EXP hubset in a Stealth color schema. The best spokes one can get: Sapim CX-RAY. Brass ni***es for reliable long term corrosion resistance. And last but not least the unparalled Enve SES rims.
What an extraordinary finish those rims do have. Not dull matte grey/black like the cheaper carbon rims are. Not too shiny. Just a perfect satin look, just enough to catch your eye in a subtle way.

Kind of sad to let those wheels go to their new owner.

Now this is something different than the usual suspects! Special projects are always fun to work on. So, what do we have here

Rims
VSW W45 UL. Our new ultra wide road/gravel rim. 25internal width, 45mm profile (also available at 35mm). Asymmetric spoke holes for a higher spoke tension on the non drive side. Equals a stiffer and stronger rear (and front) wheel. Raw carbon finish with a soft satin glow, a really premium look.

Hubs
Raketa Cycling Components designs and makes everything besides the bearings, in house. Sturdy hubs yet with a decent weight of 378gr for the pair. And those colors. 🤩😍
Premium quality bearings, good geometry, good weather sealing. A recipe for a great pair of hubs.
If your are interested in learning more about Raketa, send me a message.

Rotors
Hope Technology Ltd equals quality and made in Europe. Oef there are good looking too.

Tires
Veloflex Corsa EVO TRL in 32mm. Veloflex tires are handmade in Italy. With a 320tpi sidewall, these tires provide a lot of comfort and a good ride quality. Traction, speed and reliability are top notch. We keep a stock of these tires, if would like more info or give them a try, send me a message.

After extensive testing for the last couple of years, it's time to release this jewel of a hub. Equiped with the proven ratchet technology yet with a nifty twist.

Conventional ratchet freehub systems consist of two ratchet partners and all ratchet teeth engage simultaneously. As a result, the forces are distributed evenly over a large contact area, making the ratchet system of the utmost reliability. Since there is only space for a certain number of teeth on the ratchets, the number of engagement points is limited.

Enter .cc with the fouble ratchet system.

The DOUBLE RATCHET SYSTEM features three ratchet rings that engage alternately. Thus, the number of engagement points is doubled without compromising reliability. Only one side of the ratchet system is engaged at a time. Our oversized ratchet rings have an audiophile resolution of 60 teeth and the DOUBLE RATCHET SYSTEM thus 120 points of engagement and an engagement angle of 3°.

More than happy to see that more and more cyclists are stepping away from boring black on Black and put some colour on their pride. understands this by adding silver, red and orange colours to their hubs.

The anodising takes place in their own facilities which means they have total control of the quality. And I can only say one thing, quality is top notch.

Paired with our own raw carbon lightweight carbon hoops to create a perfect tracking, fast riding but yet comfortable pair of wheels.

The previous post was all about speed. This time it's all about weight. Less is more.

Ronald is an addicted and competitive cyclo rider. Where possible unnecessary weight is shaven off the bike. Quality low weight products can be found all over his bike.

One last big step was left: the wheels.
Prerequisities:
- modern wide rim
- serviceable spokes, ni***es and hub even abroad during an event
- tubeless ready
- not the standard matte grey color as most carbon wheels have
- steady in fast descents

Enter:
- Extralite hubs
- Duke Baccara SLR 2 36 Ultra rims (295gr each)
- Sapim CX-Ray spokes and ni***es
- Galfer IS disc rotors

Sure, there are other options to make the wheels sub 1kg. Berd spokes or carbon spokes for example. But at the end standard materials had our preference.

Some times weight is of essence. Other times speed is King. For most riders an allround wheelset will be more than perfect. But certain situations benefit from special tools.

In this wheelset the incredible smooth and fast rolling DT180 hubs are paired with the these-are-f***ing-gorgeous RX60 rims. These rims are incredible stable and it feels like they cut through the air.

These are the only rims so far I can manage to ride myself in the Dutch Mountains, weighing 70kg and with my lack of talent. The rim profile is so well thought of that windgusts seem not to affect the wheels. The just keep on rolling.

Beast Components rims are 100% handmade in Germany. They are not the lightest but they ride like a charm and are super strong with no weight limits.
