The result is this gorgeous wheelset built with Chris King R45D Centerlock hubs in matte jet, laced with Sapim CX-Ray spokes to Astral Veil6 Disc carbon rims. These tubeless compatible rims have a deep 60mm section with a 20mm internal width to help spread out the profile of 25-28mm road tires for stellar performance.
