We now have Princeton rims for custom disc brake builds. We are able to source the rims direct without the heat-applied branding and offer them at a much reduced rate over factory built versions.

40/45 rims are 40mm deep between the waves and 45mm at the nipple. Ideal for an all-round fast set of wheels. The rims are 390g and will build up to around 1350g with DT240 hubs for example.

60/65 rims are 60mm deep between the waves and 65mm at the nipples. For more experienced riders and those wishing to improve speed if they are already riding at typical "club pace".

Both rims are 19.5mm internal, exactly half way between Corsa and Strada rim widths. 27mm  external width.

They are not available to mix depths front and rear as this has shown to have no real benefit and as the deeper rims are so slippery, why not just take advantage of the extra speed?

No rim brake version is planned.

All prices are per pair and include:

Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Sapim brass nipples
Tubeless rimtape intalled (can be used with innertubes)

Tubeless valves included but not fitted.

Available with or without decals. See HERE for new decals.

Shimano free hub bodies for all hub choices are 11sp, with spacers for 8/9/10sp supplied.

Campagnolo are inherently 8/9/10/11sp compatible

We have XDR for all hubs - just note your requirements at checkout.

All these rims are now UCI approved.

Both versions are laced with Sapim CX-Ray J-bend spokes and brass nipples. Compare this with  mass-market wheels using inferior Pillar or unbranded spokes which will let you down long-term. Alloy nipples might save 50g on a wheelset for catchy marketing but they end up corroded and your wheels end up needing completely rebuilt or binned. This has NEVER happened with brass nipples.
