A couple parts arrived yesterday that I’d been anticipating for quite some time now. And by “a couple” I mean two… the front wheel and the rear wheel. These bad boys were custom made by the fine folks over at Black Bike Wheels specifically for this build. Now don’t let anyone tell you that good ol’ fashion hand made American parts are a dying breed, cause the fellas at Black Bike are single handedly putting that rumor to bed. Okay, that may be a bit overstated but the fact of the matter is that these wheels are built with an amazing amount of craftsmanship. So much so that Black Bike actually stands behind every aspect of their work with a lifetime guarantee on everything from the powder coat to the truing of the spokes. Long story short, these beauties were worth every shiny little penny I saved up for ‘em! Thanks to Brian and the crew at Black Bike Wheels for hookin’ me up with these beautiful black jewels.
The specs:
Front - 21" x 2.15" 40-spoke wheel (gloss black p/c steel rim, spokes & single flange aluminum hub, Timken 3/4" sealed bearings)
Rear - 16" x 3.5" 40-spoke wheel (gloss black p/c steel rim, spokes & dual flange aluminum hub, TImken 3/4" sealed bearings)
