Some rim updates now make these popular wheels even lighter and tubeless ready. A slightly shallower rim depth of 25mm from 30mm and an internal diameter of 19.9mm and the overall width of 24mm makes it suitable for wider tyres like the 25c and 28mm and even CX clinchers. The extra width works with keeping a nice straight tire side edge for stability and solid road feel.

Like the the carbon wheels in the lineup, the Altamont feature the same spokes, SAPIM CX Ray and Boyd's Prime hubs which feature a wide flange to flange for optimal stiffness, easy to maintenance and a quick engaging rear freehub - you can quieten it down with some extra soft grease on the pawls. The brake track gets a welded seam, rather than pinned which improves braking and consistency overall and are anodised and with water transfer decals - so they are sure to look better for longer.

Now as an educated bike rider you know that wide flanges increases bracing angles which makes the wheel stiffer and more stable in all kind of conditions and loading. Simply, these are the best option when it comes to a quality mile-eater wheelset and even race day. Perfectly suited to the rigors of CX racing as well. Laced to the top of the line spokes and an optimised rim shape and a 1430gram weight - these will climb, sprint and cruise better than any aluminium wheelset on the market. Completely hand built in the USA at the Boyd factory - they are pre-stressed and ready to race and ride right out of the box - No propriety spokes or nipples to chase down.

Good looks, good performance and available with 20/24h and 24/28h build options.
