R28 Aero3

R28 Aero4 Rear
Shimano-SRAM or Campy
Strong and light
Low Spoke Aero
Only 930 grams

SOLD OUT

Great for racing and training. All R series wheels use the same hub and rims but the Aero4 wheel uses stainless 4.3 mm aero spokes that accept a conventional 14 gauge nipple. No need for special spoke wrenches. The rear rim is a super strong 480 gram rim that adds a little weight but a lot of strength.

The lower spoke count (20 spokes and narrow profile mean better aerodynamics. The spokes are made from a special Sandvick 2.3 mm wire that is forged flat in the center. The nipple end is necked down to accept a standard 14g spoke.

The rear hub shell is cold forged aluminum that has been machined and anodized. The hub shell has two Abec 5 level Japanese low contact seal cartridge bearings.

The forged and cnc’d cassette body is easily switched from Shimano to Campy (with the purchase of an additional body). It uses three tool-steel pawls that engage a drive ring in the hub shell. The cassette body itself uses two cartridge bearings with the same spec as above.

The 480 gram 6066 alloy rim is 27 mm deep providing both strength and lateral stiffness. The T6 rim is extruded and anodized and has a cnc'd braking surface for better braking.

Shimano 8, 9, or 10 and all current SRAM systems or Campy versions available.

Rim: Deep V 27 mm rim 19 mm wide 480 grams (note that this is a new rim for this model and the rear wheel only has a wear indicator groove in the center of the braking surface). 20H. R series wheels use 6066 aluminum alloy rather than the standard 6061 which makes them much stronger. Most other companies would tradename something like this (I like "Unobtanium" - but choose to tell you what it really is instead). I used sleeved rims instead of welded because the can be made lighter and are stronger and less expensive than welded rims.

Stainless Aero spokes 4.3 mm wide with alloy nipples non drive side rear. Brass chrome plated nipples drive side rear.

Rear Hub 265 grams uses four precision Abec 5 level, low contact seal, cartridge bearings. The hub uses a 6901 and 6902 while the alloy cassette body uses two 6901 bearings. Cassette bodies are made from forged and machined alloy. The forging adds to the durability without increasing price.

930 grams (weight without quick release)

With quick release skewer (57 grams).

Rim tape is included

Like all Neuvation wheels, 100% hand-built using high and equal tension. Wheels are made to spec for radial and lateral run out and specific tensions for front and drive side rear spokes.
