Some more photos of the wheels we took the Bespoked Bristol show. If you missed part 1, click here.
Enve Carbon All mountain wheelset

The best AM/downhill wheelset money can buy. DT Swiss 240 hubs and Aerolite bladed spoked are a natural match for the strongest, stiffest, lightest rims we've seen. No compromises (including on the price).

Enve's 45mm deep full carbon clincher rims are built onto American Classic road hubs for a light, aero wheelset ideal for road racing or time trials. The moulded-in (not drilled) spoke holes mean we can wind up the bladed Sapim CX-Ray spokes to a high tension with no fear of them pulling through the rim.

We took some of our newest and latest wheels to the Bespoked hand made bicycle show in Bristol. The Enve carbon wheelsets (both mountain bike and road) were predictably the main attraction for a lot of people, but the second most popular wheels were at the other end of the price scale - Miche road hubs on Ambrosio road rims for £244. Other MTB highlights were cherry red Crests, 650b's, triplet spoke lacing and Alfine 11spds. On the road side, Chris King R45 hubs built on Alpha 340 rims were looking good.

We have recreated the show in our own yard, some of the wheels are now for sale at a small discount, but all are available as custom builds to your own specification. There will be a part 2 coming soon with the rest.

We have a limited number of Crests 26" and 29er in red available for wheel builds. We're describing it as Cherry red to make sure you don't expect it to match any other red components! Although the photos might look different depending on the screen we would safely describe it as a slightly pinky cherryade red colour. The contrast between that and the NoTubes sticker which would be a more bright red colour should be apparent from the photos. They are slightly more expensive than the black Crests and you'll need to call or email to order them.

white ZTR355 rims

New from NoTubes are these white powder coated ZTR355 rims. They are extremely limited edition at the moment, we were only allowed one pair and I had to ask very nicely but it was worth the effort. They are also expecting to have some Olympic and Flow rims in white some time this summer, and we will be getting a few if they do. Price is likely to be around 25% more than for standard black rims and they weigh about 7-10g each more.

We'll build these up onto an Industry Nine build and see how they look...

UPDATE : 06 May 2009 - other white rims are starting to come in and the prices are about the same as black rims.
