Velocity / Kinlin XR-200 rear wheel weight.

One of our builds with alloy nipples and Wheelsmith spokes. Only 810 grams and it's ready to ride!

Best kept secret in road hubs!

Check out these sweet hubs. They are manufactured by Chosen, and branded Velocity. (The same people that make some of the best rims in the world). They weigh less than many hubs that cost 3 times as much. And yes, they come in at their advertised weight. They are available with Shimano / Sram and Campagnolo freehub bodies.

We've got rims!

We have a collection of silver and black KinLin rims ready to build up with your choice of spokes, hubs, and nipples. Note the dual truing stands. Very cool.
