Correct - primary wheel for the Paramount. 36h Phil laced to a Mavic Open 4CD with the labels removed.

I forgot to mention - the Trek 728 substituted for the heel-camera shots, and utilized this wheelset; this is not the "official" third front wheel. Shimano 105 hubs laced to Arayas. Ironically enough, this set was once mounted on the Paramount, though never in the video.

Correct. This was taken off the Basso as a quick fix when I had a flat with the Phil/Mavic front wheel. It is a 32h Mavic Open 4CD w/a Miche Competition hub.


That said, the third front wheel - and I think it unfair to quiz anyone on it, for it is nearly impossible to see - is a cracked, dark-anodized Araya CTL-370 laced to a Suntour Cyclone 7000 hub, outfitted with a solid 700x20c tire. This wheel was used for running over the motherboard. Likewise, a poor-condition, silver Araya laced to a generic Shimano hub was used in the rear for this particular purpose as well.

I was not keen on the idea of potentially wrecking the Paramount's IRC Roadwinner tires nor the Mavic rims on it, hence, the set of trashed wheels.
