Description

The Wabi Sub-15s, at 1475 grams, are likely the lightest alloy 700C single speed-fixed gear wheelset available, balancing performance and style. They feature low-flange hubs, aero-profile rims with a silver machined braking surface, a 20h radial front, and 24h cross-laced double-butted spokes. The specially-designed fixed/fixed hubs, deeper than standard, easily accommodate freewheels for both single speed and fixed riding.

Specs
  • Super light: 1475g/set (704g front, 771g rear) with rim tape and wheel bolts
  • Aero-profile rims with silver machined braking surface.
  • Low flange hubs with silky smooth sealed bearing hubs.
  • FX/FX rear flip-flop hub can take freewheels or fixed cogs.
  • Bolt-on hollow axle design that is also quick release compatible.
  • 14/17 double butted stainless spokes (20 radial spokes front, 24 2-cross pattern rear).
  • Aluminum spoke nipples. 
  • 100mm front, 120mm rear axle widths.
  • 12.6mm internal rim width.
  • Recommended tire widths: 20mm to 32mm.
  • Hand finished pre-stressing and truing.
Notes
  • These wheels are rated for 225 pounds (including cargo). 
  • Given these are ultra-lightweight, low spoke count wheels, we recommend avoiding unnecessary stress - curb hops, bombing through potholes, etc. - if you want to avoid frequent trueing.
  • IMPORTANT: These wheels require rear dropouts that are at least 5mm thick. If they are less than 5mm (or just at 5mm), you'll need a chain tensioner to ensure the proper clamp. See our installation page for more info.
  • These wheels are only for 120mm rear dropout widths (OLD) and can't be used or adapted for wider dropout widths like 126mm.
