Product Info

Now built with all new Bitex C-Lock hubs. We have chosen Bitex as the build quality and durability is the best we have used.

For spokes, we chose Sapim because we felt they offered the best balance of quality and weight.

These road bike wheels we describe as an all-rounder suitable for riding racing and almost all types of road cycling and Cyclo-cross With its 20mm internal width it sets up beautifully with a 25mm tire either tubeless or tubed.

Tubeless set-up conversion requires the purchase of tubeless tape and valve kit. The Hubs are supplied as 12mmx100mm front and 12mmx142mm rear, if you require a different configuration we have QR front and rear options, don't forget to add the relevant hub plugs to your order.

Designed and handbuilt in the USA.

FORZA Rims

Our Forza rims are the heart of this wheelset, and they are optimized specifically around tubeless tires. The inner width of 21 mm provides for more air volume (comfort) and improves tire profile (control).

FORZA Profile

The asymmetric profile provides for good spoke tension when lacing to offset hub flanges. These rims are the result of a clean sheet design that brings our best thinking to the table on what a rim should be.

Tyre pressure & size guide

NOTE: The Forza rim is designed for with tubeless specific tires

700 x 25 max pressure 100psi (6.9bar)

700 x 28 max pressure 90psi (6.2bar)

700 x 30 max pressure 85psi (5.9bar)

We recommend you allow a sliding scale for tire pressures. As a general rule, the wider the tire is (more air volume) the less air pressure you’ll need to achieve a fast but compliant ride. Experiment with tire size and air pressures to work out the best combination of volume and pressure for your intended terrain and overall riding style. Air pressure recommendations from the tire manufacturers are a good starting point but should not exceed 105psi for this rim.
