R28 Aero4 Rear

930 grams

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. New for 2008 is a beefed up rear rim to give it added strength.

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).
Without rim tape - I suggest using the Velox cloth 16 mm tape
700C clincher .
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.
