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.
