Chris King R45 Wheelset

The R45 hub features a proprietary RingDrive system that provides 45 points of engagement. This creates a nearly instantaneous connection between your pedal stroke and the drivetrain, resulting in a very responsive feel when accelerating or climbing.

Yes, they are designed specifically for that purpose. The handbuilt construction ensures high spoke tension and durability, making them robust enough for consistent, everyday use while remaining light enough for spirited group rides.

The Forza rim is designed to be versatile, offering a balance between aerodynamic efficiency and stability in crosswinds. It provides a predictable, planted feel that performs well across a wide variety of road surfaces and conditions.

Handbuilt wheels allow for more precise spoke tensioning and stress-relieving during the assembly process. This typically results in a wheel that stays true longer and offers a more consistent, refined ride quality than mass-produced alternatives.

Yes, the Pacenti Forza rims used in this build are tubeless-ready. You can easily set them up with tubeless tires to take advantage of lower rolling resistance and improved puncture protection.
