Steven had previously purchased a set of custom hand built ENVE SES 8.9 clinchers with red Chris King R45 hubs. He uses them for Ironman and triathlon competitions. This fall, he ordered this set.

James’ ZIPP 404 upgrade
James asked to have his ZIPP 404 clincher wheel set upgraded to DT240s hubs. This would allow him to run 11 speed Shimano/SRAM cassettes on this older set of ZIPP wheels. The black nipples and black Sapim CX-Ray spokes definitely indicate a custom ZIPP build. ZIPP has done well over the years, but I have…Read more James’ ZIPP 404 upgrade

Red hubs isn't unique, but laced with silver nipples and classic stainless silver spokes made these wheels really pop! They…Read more Eric’s Custom Diablo SL
Jen’s Diablo SL All-Black
Jen, Pro City Sistas team member, selected the popular Diablo SL wheelset as a racing/training set. She chose the equally popular all-black look. At 1410g actual weight, these came in slightly under spec. Just in time for her stage racing in Bermuda.
