Recumbent Bicycle Wheels

Note: If buying multiple items a shipping discount will apply.

These wheels are built to the same high standards that all of our wheels are built to. These wheels will stay True and Round for a minimum of 1 year (See warranty and wheel building info). We use top of the line Components that have proven themselves in the industry to be of the highest quality. The only recommendations for riders over 190 lbs is going with a higher spoke count to handle the extra weight.

All Wheels are built with Sapim Spokes. To learn more about our building process click here.

Additional custom options for your Spin Lite Cycling built wheels such as upgraded spokes, ceramic bearing upgrades, veloplugs, skewers for White Industries and Chris King hubs (their hubs do not come with skewers) be found here

Spin Lite A23 Recumbent Wheelset
Aerohead / Chris King, Velocity, Ultegra, or Dura Ace Hubs Description:
The A23 rim is based off our proven Aerohead race rim. With a wider footprint, the A23 allows for a more aerodynamic rim/tire combination when paired with a 23c tire. The tire profile mimics the characteristics of a tubular, gaining increased control and lower rolling resistance without the inconvenience of tubular glue or the dangers of irreparable roadside mechanicals.

You have a choice of high quality hubs depending on your needs and price range. All this put together with Alloy nipples and Sapim’s Race spokes 14/15 gauge.This wheel set can be built with lighter gauge spokes for lighter riders by choosing the spoke option at the top of the page.  We build this with different spoke count options based on rider weight and riding style. This is a very good wheel set for Road Racing especially when the road is going vertical.

Drillings and Sizes :
  • 20 x 1.5 (406) – 36 spoke
  • 26 x 1.5 (559) – 36, & 32 spoke

  • Velocity Race - 1427 grams per set (32 spoke set)
  • M15 – 1417 grams per set (32 spoke set)
  • American Classic - 1370 grams per set (32 spoke set)
