| Reynolds 81mm laced to White T11 - (20) DT Aerolite Spokes - 1010 g |

| A very deep profile for the rear wheel increases the drag coefficient of a bicycle to help it slip through the wind faster. Carbon fiber is the best material for this type of application because it is so much lighter than aluminum and allows for more extreme shape design to give it improved aerodynamic properties. This rim shape is possible with aluminum but would come with a huge weight penalty - which is why you never see it. |
 |
| Super deep rim has the advantages of a disc wheel for time trial and triathlon, but is lighter and more maneuverable and versatile across other road riding disciplines thanks to Reynolds' patented SLG technology and offers better braking than it's competitor's with their CTG brake track. |

| White Industries is a small machine shop in Petaluma, CA that has been manufacturing highest quality USA made hubs, cogs, cranks, and pedals since 1978. The craftsmanship is impeccable and extremely durable and lightweight. Titanium freehub body is 11 speed compatible on their T11 hub for a seamless transition to Shimano and SRAM's latest componentry, while still compatible with 9 and 10 speed drivetrains. I've been using this hub on the majority of my wheel builds since it was released last year. This is a hub that you hold on to and use from bike to bike for years. $275 for the rear hub is cheaper than King and DT and weighs just 252 g. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
