They appear to be Matrix Titanium - a Trek wheel - the same were on our T50 until a few weeks ago when the rear developed cracks on both sides that go all the way around.


I built up a new set of wheels with Wheelmaster 40h tandem hubs (sealed bearing , 14mm diameter rear axle ), Wheelsmith spokes and Velocity Dyad rims. At the same time converted from 7 speed to 9 speed, replacing the Deore RD with a SRAM X.9 RD and X.0 twist grip (flat bars). The new wheels are significantly stiffer laterally, and noticeably lighter.

The T200 and T50 have the same frame.
