Wheel Build Feature: Astral Luna Meets Chris King

At AVT, we love helping our customers build their dream bikes, whether it's selecting the perfect headset and bottom bracket or hand building a set of custom wheels. We truly enjoy seeing the final product come together, knowing we've helped create something truly special for each rider. 

Our latest wheel build has left us absolutely blown away: a stunning Baum build that exemplifies precision, performance, and style. The Matte Turquoise accents on the titanium frame create a striking visual contrast, making this bike a true work of art.

A Custom Wheelset to Match

This build demanded a wheelset that could match its sleek aesthetics and high performance. We laced Astral Luna rims to Chris King R45D hubs, the perfect combination to get the build rolling smoothly. To complete the setup, we used Sapim CX-Ray spokes and Secure Lock PolyAx brass nipples—a lightweight yet strong choice that ensures a smooth and powerful ride for years to come.
