The CXD Pro Wheel set is built using excellent wheel components, from start to finish. But the net result has proven to be even greater than the sum. These wheels really work well, ride well, and hold up to a diverse field of utilization. A lot of this wheel set's proficiency can be attributed to the rim specifically. It's a beauty. 24mm wide and tall, with a 19mm tubeless ready inner profile, at 470g, the rim has a stellar profile that's really strong, extremely stable, and very weight competitive. You can run higher pressure road tube + tires on them, tubeless road, or wider/higher volume CX / Gravel type tires. They all work, and tire mounting occurs with minimal fuss. We build and ship these wheels with tubeless tape + valves installed, but you can always pop the valves out and run them with inner tubes. Valve remolval occurs via a simple loosening of the valve lock ring, takes about 10 secs. If you're into racing (Doh! not that kind of racing), training, or you simply prefer to buy really nice gear, this is your starting and finishing point. That's pretty straight forward.

Please note, we are now building these wheels with new Speed Tuned ST 160 / ST280 centerlock disc hubs. If you're looking for a light weight, focused road disc wheel set, these hubs should catch your eye. Both the front and rear hub have an attractive shell body, but the rear hub features 72 points of engagement, (5 degrees) via a 6x1 pawl free hub. The drive ring and pawls are super overbuilt in terms of diameter in order to hold up to E-bike torque requirements, (drive ring), height, (drive ring + pawls), and materials, (quality stainless). Last but not leaset, the freehub bearing placement is proper, in terms of overall design meant to promote hub function and durability.
In "stock" form, these wheels are built with Sapim Race Double Butted 2.0/1.8/2.0 black spokes in a 32 hole, three cross configuration front and rear. Sapim spokes offer legendary quality and performance. If you didn't know a thing about spokes, know that your wheels would come with a really top notch spoke product. That being said, we're offering a spoke upgrade option, in the form of Sapim DLight 2.0/1.65/2.0 spokes. Essentially, you might be able to find a different spoke option that approaches the Sapim Race and Dlight quality, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better spoke product. Sapim Dlight spokes will perform at the same relative level as Race spokes, but will dampen road vibration a bit more, and will shave off approximately 75 - 80g from the wheel set.
The BWW CXDPro is a stellar wheel set option, in a field that's composed of some of the best aluminum alloy rims ever. Given their level of performance, they are an unbeatable deal, (coupon codes here). We're not joking around here. If you don't have a lot of time to research all the rim options in the marketplace, if you don't have a lot of money, and if you can find this product page, maybe that's Magic.
Should you buy this wheel set? Entirely your call. Should you watch this short but sweet rock climbing video? Absolutely. One More Fun One.
