Road wheels designed for rim brakes (v-brake) usually have fewer spokes than wheels adapted for disc brakes, 20 at the front and 24 at the rear. In addition, it is worth noting that during braking (the place of braking is on the rim) there is an additional load on the wheel. Therefore, v-brake wheels should be constructed with high-quality rims and spokes to make the whole set adequately strong.
When building aluminum wheels, we use the renowned DT Swiss rims and Sapim D-Light spokes, which guarantees not only durability, but also wheel performance. For heavier weight users, we recommend considering the stronger Sapim Race spokes, which can be selected in the configurator. For low-weight enthusiasts, there is an option to build wheels with the ultra-light Sapim CX-Ray spokes.
In terms of hubs, we use proven models from DT Swiss and Evanlite, which operate on the ratchet mechanism principle, which guarantees reliability and high uptime.

DT Swiss RR 411
Weight: 1390 - 1500 grams (various configurations)
Rim height: 21 mm
Weight limit: 120 kg

Our comment
The wheels are built around a very light DT RR 411 rim with a low profile, which has a positive effect on the low weight of the set. They are designed for users for whom it is important to achieve low weight while maintaining wheel strength. The DT RR 411 is perfect for flat and hilly road trails.
If you plan to mainly use the wheels on flat or hilly roads, where low wheel weight is not so important, then we recommend considering another DT RR 511 model with a taller rim.

Our comment
Great looking road wheels with a higher profile DT RR 511 rim with a height of 32 mm. A very good choice for flat and hilly road trails. A solid and quality rim, combined with high quality hubs and spokes, makes an excellent set of aluminum wheels for training and racing purposes.
The high 32mm rim is not only an aesthetic aspect, but also already plays a minimal role in improving aerodynamics. This set of wheels is designed for users who expect high quality and performance during intensive training and competition.
