Velo Orange x Freshtripe Rim Brake Voyager Wheelset

Velo Orange Rims and Hubs built with Sapim Spokes and Nipples are what these wheels are in a nutshell, but looking deeper they're a super awesome, tough and ready to roll hand-built wheelset constructed for purpose.

That purpose can be broken down into reliability, serviceability, strength to weight ratio and of course usability.

Velo Orange makes solid and reliable bike components and their Rims and Hubs are no different. The Voyager rims are stunning! A double walled and steel eyeleted box section rim, that not only offers dashing good looks that suits any rig, they're strong enough to cope with some heavy touring and rando work as well as feeling at home on the gravel.

Tubeless ready and polished silver these rims can be used for rim or disc brake.

The VO hubs are unbeliviable in many ways, but the reliability and service factors are what we're looking for. Good quality sealed cartridge bearings with healthy sized end-caps help towards keeping the grime out. These included end-caps come QR 100mm spaced forks, 130mm or 135mm QR rear - Which is perfect for swapping wheel sets throughout the fleet.

However - The drive side endcaps are identical, while the non-drive side endcap for the 135mm set is 5mm longer, meaning that if you switch from one width to another, you'll likely have to have your wheel re-dished, slightly. 

Sapim Spokes! Now, there's always a big debate over Sapim and DT Swiss. And to be honest we think they're as good as each other. They both have options in their respected line ups for different disciplines and should be picked accordingly.

We've nominated Sapim Race for the job - Race spokes are double-butted and provide better shock absorption thanks to a thinner mid section than the one of a non-butted spoke. With the perfect amount of elasticity they build to tension with ease and are pre-cut for a bang on measurement.

Brass Nipples are picked as they are less likely to seize over time, we always grease the nipple head and spoke thread to allow wheel truing further down the line.

These wheels are built in a 3 cross pattern for strength and durability. Pick from Black or Silver spokes/nipples.

32 hole wheel set weighs 3,445 grams and 36 hole weighs 3,501 grams.

Hand-Built wheels can take 1-2 days before dispatch, we want to make sure these hoops are perfect!

We would be happy to build with different hubs if desired. We can supply most hubs or feel free to send some to us, please call or email for more info.
