Lightweight Disc carbon tubular rear wheel 700c DT Swiss 190 hub Shimano 10 speed time trial
Frame and Wheel is auctioning a Lightweight Disc wheel on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheel was obtained by an independent bicycle dealer for demonstration and promotional purposes. It has never been raced. It has never been crashed. It has been on display. The wheel features carbon tubular rim, 20 mm rim width, DT Swiss 190 hub, Shimano 10 speed free hub body, oversized valve opening, startlingly low weight, distinctive carbon finish and Lightweight aero cool. The wheel as shown weighs 1 pounds and 12 ounces (800 g). There are 30 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. No skewer included. Includes wheel bag. Includes Lightweight new brake pads. Ships in custom wheel box. Maximum weight limit of 90 kg (rider + bicycle + gear).

Review of condition
The wheel is in good condition. It is clean and ready to ride. There is no cracking, flexing, discoloration or flaking in the rim. There are no dents, flexing, or flaking in the carbon surface of the wheel. The wheel is true and round. The hub spins freely and smoothly. There is no play in the hub. The valve opening is undamaged. The stickers are on securely. The braking surfaces of the rim show no wear. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is a 2 mm x 2 mm scratch on the non drive surface near the second “h” in Lightweight. There are fissures in some of the Lightweight stickers. There is a 150 mm light scratching on the drive side surface of the wheel. There is a light layer of glue on the rim. The free hub body shows light wear from a cassette.

Frame and Wheel conclusion
Frame and Wheel’s view is that a disc wheel is a necessary tool for any road cyclist or triathlete who is serious about improving his or her performance in the race against the clock. This Lightweight Disc wheel is the lightest (and probably the stiffest) disc wheel Frame and Wheel has ever seen and most certainly the wheel that will launch a serious time trial competitor to a higher level of performance in the Race of Truth. The wheel is in good condition and shows immaterial signs of wear. It will produce an immediate speed and weight advantage and it will dramatically change the voice of any time trial bicycle. The new owner will relish the distinctive sound that this wheel makes when at speed and will become permanently spoiled by its light weight. An excellent and rare opportunity to obtain one of the finest disc wheel on the market today..
