Discovered recently that the Velocity Spartacus Uriel rear wheel on my Carbent was 7 grams out of balance (Enough to shake the rear of the bike excessively when it was run up on a test stand). Decided to order a new wheelset for the bike. Ordered the wheelset pictured below. It weighs 1467 grams, which represents a 198 gram weight savings over the bike's original Velocity wheelset. Bladed spoke count for the new set is 24/28 vs. 20/24 (round spokes) for the Velocity. The wheels are hand built and have no perceptible lateral or radial runout (And, are not out of balance
). Rode the Carbent, equipped with the new wheelset, on today's Plano East Side ride. They were stiff and rolled fast. The rear wheel is advertised as SRAM 8/9/10-speed compatible. However, the 10-speed SRAM cassette I installed was loose on the freewheel (Didn't find out, until I did the ride) . Rattle, rattle, rattle. Will have to install a shim ring behind the cassette to make it tight.
