2012 HED Jet Disc FR carbon alloy wheel 28 spoke 700c Stallion time trial triathlon
Frame and Wheel is auctioning an HED. Jet Disc wheel on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheel was purchased new at Cyclemania in Portland, Maine in 2012. It was used only for time trials. It has less than 100 miles of use. The wheel has never been crashed. It has been in storage. It has had only one owner. The owner is selling it because he no longer needs the wheel. The wheel features HED. Jet design, 1K weave carbon covering, alloy clincher rim, 28 spoke count or “Stallion” build, 23 mm rim width, HED. hub, nude carbon finish, and World Time Trial Championship credibility. The wheel as shown weighs 2 pounds 13 ounces (1.27 kg). The serial number reads 0312 030. Skewer, valve covering sticker and valve extender not included. There are 85 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. 

Important information

Review of condition
The wheel is in very good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. The hub spins smoothly and freely. The rim is round and true. There is no lateral or vertical variation in the rim when placed in a truing stand. There are no dents in the rim. There are no cracks, rips, holes or discoloration in the carbon covering. The carbon covering is bonded securely to the rim. The toroidal shape of the carbon covering is not damaged. There is no play in the hubs. There is no corrosion on the hub body. There is no corrosion on the rim. There is no corrosion in the spoke holes. The rim tape is not ripped. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There are two 2 mm x 50 mm imperfections on the non drive side carbon covering near the valve opening. There is a 10 mm x 10 mm blemish on the drive side carbon covering from a power meter magnet. There is a 5 mm abrasion on the edge of the opening in the carbon covering for the valve extender. There is a 1 mm x 2 mm abrasion on the edge non drive side rim. The corner of one of the non drive-side HED. stickers is peeling back. The braking surfaces of the rim show wear. The free hub body shows wear from a cassette (HED Cycling notes that the Shimano free hub body cannot be switched out to Camapgnolo or Shimano 11. It is compatible with Shimano 10 speed cassettes  only).

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that this HED. Jet Disc wheel will make an excellent choice for the dedicated time road cyclist or triathlete who seeks a strong and very stiff disc wheel for the time trial bike. The wheel is in very good condition and shows immaterial signs of wear. Combining this disc wheel with an HED. H3D tri-spoke front wheel will transform the look and feel of any time trial bike and will result in an immediate speed advantage. The new owner will appreciate the convenience and the braking characteristics of the alloy clincher rim and, when running running a Continental GP4000 700 x 25 mm tire, will enjoy channeling the raw power of Tony Martin’s 2011 World Time Trial Championship run. A rare and excellent opportunity to obtain one of the finest disc wheels on the market today.
