2012 HED Jet Disc FR carbon alloy wheel 24 spoke 700c time trial Shimano 10 speed

Frame and Wheel is auctioning an HED Jet Disc wheel on the Frame and Wheel eBay Store. The wheel was purchased new in 2012. It was used for triathlons. 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 Disc design, 1K weave carbon covering, alloy clincher rim, standard 24 spoke count, 23 mm rim width, HED hub, HED titanium skewer, Shimano 10 speed free hub body, nude carbon finish and World Time Trial Championship credibility. The wheel as shown weighs 2 pounds 14 ounces (1.3 kg). The serial number reads 0612-054. Valve covering sticker, valve extender and base tape not included. There are 35 images of the wheel set at Frame and Wheel’s Flickr page. Please take a look. 

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 valve opening is not damaged. Frame and Wheel notes the following. There is a 4 mm x 8 mm scratch on  the E on the drive side lower HED sticker. There is a 3 mm x 20 mm scratch on H on the non drive side upper HED sticker. The free hub body shows wear from a cassette. The braking surface of the rim shows wear. (HED Cycling notes that the Shimano free hub body cannot be switched out to Camapgnolo or Shimano-11 speed. 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 road cyclist or triathlete who seeks a fast and stiff disc wheel for the time trial bike and who is satisfied with 10-speed Shimano gearing. The wheel is in very good condition and shows immaterial signs of wear. Combining this disc wheel with an HED H3 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 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.
