Description:
An absolute holy grail of late-1980s to early-1990s racing performance, blending the absolute peak of Japanese engineering precision with elite French aerodynamics. This premium 28-inch vintage wheelset features the legendary Wolber TX Profil rims, iconic for their distinct V-shaped aerodynamic profile that paved the way for modern deep-section wheels. Constructed using premium aviation-grade alloy and treated with Wolber's famous dark grey hard-anodization, these rims offer unmatched structural rigidity, high resistance to sidewall deflection under heavy braking, and standard eyelets to handle elite-level spoke tension.
At the center of this wheelset spins the legendary Shimano Dura-Ace 7400 series hubset. The rear hub features the highly sought-after 130 mm transitional freehub body, ingeniously engineered as a Hyperglide (HG) and Uniglide (UG) cross-compatible combo hub. This allows you to thread a classic UG cassette onto the outer body or slip on a modern, smooth-shifting 8-speed HG cassette, offering unparalleled drivetrain versatility. Built with Shimano's loose-ball cup-and-cone bearing mechanics, machined to a mirror finish, these hubs spin with incredibly low rolling resistance and feature superior labyrinth seals to lock out water and grime. Boasting a versatile 19.3 mm outer and a wide 14.4 mm internal channel, this wheelset is perfectly tailored for fast-rolling high-pressure clinchers. It represents the ultimate upgrade for any period-correct Team Panasonic replica, high-end Dura-Ace equipped steel racer, or premium early-90s neo-retro project.
