2018 Product Line and Build Weights
Posted by Jerry Chabot on
Welcome to our new, revamped for 2018 website! It is relevant that we have completely reskinned the website because for 2018 we have completely updated our wheels as well.

I think we are great to work with.

Cannondale AI Asymetric Integration Wheels for SuperX, Synapse, Scalpel, F-Si

Speaking of Cannondale, we also build wheels for their asymmetric chainstay bikes, Cannondale Asymmetric Integration (AI), which is Cannondale-speak for SCS. And we know a thing or two about SCS, so we may as well help out those of you with Cannondales as well, right? If you need Lefty or AI wheels, just let us know. We have AI and Boost AI as an axle option right on the wheel configuration section of the applicable wheelsets. We even made up some custom tooling to ensure a precise, repeatable offset when building.
