Velocity Aileron Clydesdale Road, Gravel and Cross Disc Wheelset

Description

The Velocity Aileron Disc Wheelset features a disc specific elliptical profile designed for aerodynamics and low weight.

Aileron rims feature a disc specific elliptical profile designed with aerodynamics and weight as key factors.
Specifically tuned to be aerodynamically paired with 23-28c road tires, though a 20mm inner width compliments even the most voluminous gravel and ‘cross tires.

When Velocity builds a wheelset for our Clydesdale riders, every aspect of the wheel has been thought through.
From selecting the proper rim for application and tire width, to the type of hub that provides these riders with the strength and durability they expect from a handbuilt Velocity wheel.
The final piece Velocity considers is spoke count – for this they a simple guide for selecting the proper wheelset.

For individuals between 200 lbs to 229 lbs Velocity recommends a front and rear spoke count of 32 each.
For individuals between 230 lbs and 259 lbs, a front and rear spoke count of 36 each.
For individuals between 260 lbs and 300 lbs a front spoke count of 36 and a rear spoke count of 40.
These serve as guides for the wheelset that will be best serve you, – please do not hesitate to contact us with questions you might have with your wheelset, we are happy to help!
