Planet X Superlights
Geoff was after a new set of race wheels. We happened to have some Planet X R50 rims hanging around, so we coupled them up with some unbranded 'superlight' hubs, in red. We went for a mix of DT competition and Sapim race spokes, which add a little more strength abd stiffness over their thinner cousins. Bare wheel weight was around 1350g. We completed the package with Schwalbe Milano tubs, C-4 stainless steel QRs and a chorus 11 speed cassette. This made for a very good race wheelset, at a very resonable price.

PMP2
28h PMP hubs in dark blue on Ambrisio Crono rims with Sapim spokes and Vittoria pave tubs. These wheels took a hammering in the annual Ras Dhun na NGall, over some rough roads around Ardara.
