Edge Composite Rims and Fork arrived!!




After a long wait, we finally received our shipment of Edge Composite Rims.

These ain't the ones from Taiwan, which are basically the same items as those like Token, Equinox, Soul, etc..

These rims are Made in USA, Utah.

The rims comes in 4 different offerings.
38mm Tubular
1.38: Lightweight 38mm Tubular rims. Weights avg: 266grams (+/- 5 gms)
2.38: Regular weight 38mm Tubular rims, Edge states that these carbon rims are good enough even for Cyclocross usage. Weight avg: 321grams (+/- 5gms)
68mm Tubular
1.68: Lightweight 68mm Tubular rims. Weight avg: 360grams (+/- 5gms)
2.68: Regular weight 68mm Tubular rims, as per 2.38 rims, Good enough for Cyclocross usage. Weight avg: 425grams (+/- 5gms)


These weight are actual weight measured by Patrick using a digital scale.

We will be building a 1st set of Edge 2.68 rims with Dura-ace 7800 hubs on 24holes Front and Rear.

Why Shimano hubs instead of others? The DA hubs have proven to be very smooth rolling. This set will be a set of wheels build for all-round usage. As both training wheels and also for racing.

Expected weight for this set of wheels would be in the range of 1400 grams.

Current available rims are the 1.38, 2.38, 1.68 in 20h front and 24h rear manner.


If you have any special order, do let us know via email at patrick @ eclipsesports.net (please omit the spaces)

Cheers,
Happy and Safe riding.
