Wabi Featherweight Single Speed-Fixed Gear Wheelset, 1270g (Rider<160lb)

We wondered how light we could get a set of alloy fixed-gear/single-speed wheels. Well, these are probably them - 1,270 grams, including rim tape. We took our Sub-15s and used a lighter-weight rim plus a couple of other minor tweaks to shave off 205 grams. They feature low-flange hubs, aero-profile rims with a silver machined braking surface, a 20h radial front, and 24h cross-laced double-butted spokes. We've only built about 20 of them, given the caveat below. The caveat is that these will be weight-limited to around 160 pounds and should be treated with care - smooth roads, no hops, no potholes, etc. That's the trade-off. Specs Super light: 1,270g/set (610g front, 660g rear) with rim tape and wheel bolts Aero-profile rims with silver machined braking surface. Low flange hubs with silky smooth sealed bearing hubs. FX/FX rear flip-flop hub can take freewheels or fixed cogs. Bolt-on hollow axle design that is also quick-release compatible. 14/17 double-butted stainless spokes (20 radial spokes front, 24 2-cross pattern rear). Aluminum spoke nipples. 100mm front, 120mm rear axle widths. 13.6mm internal rim width. Recommended tire widths: 20mm to 32mm. Hand-finished pre-stressing and truing. Includes rim tape, one lockring, and fixed cog spacer. Notes These wheels are rated for 160 pounds (including cargo). Given these are ultra-lightweight, low spoke count wheels, we recommend avoiding unnecessary stress - curb hops, bombing through potholes, etc. - if you want to avoid more frequent trueing. Due to the varying thickness of fixed cogs, we recommend using the provided fixed cog spacer when installing a fixed cog to ensure a tight fit between the cog and the lockring. If you need a second spacer, let us know. These wheels are only for 120mm rear dropout widths (OLD) and can't be used or adapted for wider dropout widths like 126mm.
