Oops.

Joel (not his real name--not trying to embarrass him) pre-ordered this wheelset. Dream wheels for his new Krampus--that's what they were gonna be. I built 'em the way I always do--heaps of time spent lacing, pre-aligning, lubricating, tensioning, stress relieving, retensioning, re-stress relieving, overandoverandover, until tension was *there* and it was time to bring them into final true, round, and then balance out the tension.  Shod 'em, aired 'em up, and vi-ooooo-la, done.

 Done!

 

Trouble is Joel has a whole lotta life going on right now, and suddenly his dream wheels are a bit out of his financial reach. Funny how a seriously sick kid can suddenly snap priorities into focus.  

Bummer--for him. But maybe not for you?

The Grail.

Everyone has different needs and thus a small but vocal minority won't agree with my assessment here.  But I really think that this wheelset is the holy grail of what most riders are looking for in a fat wheelset: It is wide, it is lively, and it is durable.

I started with Surly's Clownshoe 100mm wide rims because they are *it* if flotation is what you have in mind.


I used a Surly wide hub up front to keep it durable and inexpensive.


Salsa Mukluk 3 hub out back.  Salsa skewers on both ends.


Spokes are DT SuperComp triple butted, because they give the sweetest, liveliest ride of any spoke on the market.  Admittedly it is difficult to feel that liveliness when you're running 3psi on wind-whipped soft snow, but if you spend any time on hardpack then you'll notice and appreciate it.


Nipples are DT Swiss Prolock aluminum to preserve balanced spoke tension and keep perimeter weight low.

Surly tubes and rim strips.

For tires you can choose from wire bead Surly Knard, Surly BFL, or 45North Husker Du.


If you're uncertain on which tires might work best for your particular application, I'm happy to consider your info and make a suggestion.

MSRP on this set would be almost $1200.

Including Fed Ex Ground shipping, I have them on special right now (yes, now!) for $975.

Turn-key fat!

Start with a set of Vicious Cycles GFS 80mm wide rims.


Lace them to a set of Salsa Mukluk wide hubs in black, using DT Swiss butted spokes and DT Swiss Prolock alloy nips. All black.


Salsa skewers included.


Finish them off with a pair of Q 2.5" tubes and a set of Surly BFL's, Nate's, or 45N Husker Du's.


At MSRP this is an $922 combo.

On special this week for $635 including tires, tubes and shipping.

Choose from Surly BFL 4.5", Surly Knard 3.8" tires, or 45N Husker Du's--no change in price.

Want 45N Escalator's, or Bud or Lou?  Sure thing--lemme know which and I'll figure out a package price.
