BIG FELLA DISC | TOUGH WHEELS FOR BIG RIDERS

Description

If you are 100kg – 150kg or looking to load your bike up for touring and fear that your factory wheels are not up to the job. You’re going to need the strongest road disc wheels around. Our Big Fella Disc wheelset is for you.

The Big Fella Disc wheelset is hand built in our workshop in West Sussex. Designed with the heavier and the touring rider in mind. We use a high quality rim and hub combination. These are laced for maximum strength using a 32 hole 3 cross for both the front and rear. For a very strong wheelset, the Big Fella Disc doesn’t break the scales either, weighing a respectable 1985 grams for the pair. Rim tape is fitted as standard and also comes with our true for life warranty.

The Big Fella Disc Rim Spec

For 2021 we have updated the rim to the wider DT Swiss RR521 model to accommodate wider tyres . This tubeless ready rim is 32mm in depth and has an internal width of 20mm. The rim is laced with Sapim Black Race spokes and brass black-plated locking nipples for a strong yet comfortable good-looking wheelset.

• – A high quality, robust semi-aero road rim with a 20 mm internal width / 24 mm outer ideal for modern road tyres.
• – 32 mm deep section boosts aero performance and enhances mud shedding for cyclocross use.
• – Strength Boost Welding Technology creates a perfectly welded join for a durable, reliable rim.
• – Machined sidewalls for powerful braking on a consistent sidewall surface.
• – PHR washers assist the ABS nipples to naturally align perfectly with your chosen spokes, increasing stiffness and durability with no weight penalty over traditional eyeleted rims.
• – Outer width: 24 mm, Inner Width: 20 mm, Height: 32 mm
• – Unique process for the black coating produces a tough and durable finish.
