Description
The Wabi CX/Urban is a lightweight, heavy-duty wheelset that handles wider tires (up to 45mm), heavier loads and serious abuse - even gravel or cyclocross riding.
Coming in at 1940 grams, this wheelset features a silver low-flange hub, heavy duty anodized black rims with a silver machined braking surface, silver eyeleted spoke holes and 3x cross-laced straight-gauge spokes. Our specially-designed fixed/fixed hubs, with a little more depth than standard fixed hubs, are designed to easily accept freewheels with no issues for both single speed and fixed riding.

Notes
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.
Installation
See our installation page for guidance, including torque recommendations. Replacement wheel bearings also available.
