Our Amelia wheelset was designed to offer an affordable wheelset for the everyday rider and include all the parts that can slowly drive up the cost on your next build. For those of you on a budget getting a $120 wheelset is great, but then add $8 for a lockring, $25 for a cog, $40 for tires, $10 for tubes, and $5 for rim strips. All of a sudden your over $200 and your budget is getting slimmer and slimmer. With our Amelia wheelset you get your wheels, and all the above listed parts for only $120. Here’s a quick rundown on what exactly your getting.
Our Amelia wheels are your typical track wheelset. 700c sizing with 120mm spacing in the rear and 100mm spacing in the front. The rims are 30mm deep (same depth as a Weinmann DP18 or Velocity Deep V) and have a machined braking surface for those of you looking to run it as a singlespeed. Rim colors include black, silver, white, purple, orange, and green. The flip flop hub is set up to run a fixed cog or a freewheel depending on your preference. The pre-mounted 700×23 Kenda tires are a solid commuter tire. They don’t scream performance but they do hold up well on rough city streets. We went with a 16t steel cog since it gives a comfortable ratio when paired with the 46t chainrings you see on most cranksets out there (including our own).
A lot of people buying these wheels are new to fixed gear. We send along a sheet with every wheelset giving tips on installation and upkeep so you can get the most out of your wheels. Remember, use the proper tools when you install your cog and lockring. If your riding fixed your connection to your rear wheel is the only thing keeping you from flying out of control. Don’t jeopardize your riding with improper installation and maintenance.
