Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

HED ardennes

Hi. Im wondering if its possible at all to purchase the HED ardennes GP rear wheel rim only. I need to lace it to a ss/fixed hub..i searched via google but can't really find anything.
Just wondering


From what Ive heard they are a very good wheelset and worth the price you pay for them.

.....lace them to a phil wood hub?

I believe the HED Ardennes use the HED C2 Belgium rims.

I got my custom-built wheels based on the HED C2 Belgium rims from www.wheelbuilder.com. I believe they will sell rims only.

Mine were laced 28 double-crossed for the front wheel and 32 triple-crossed for the rear wheel with Sapim CX-Rays to White Industries hubs. The wheel set weighs 1500 grams.

Smooth and solid pair of wheels. The wide rims really open up the tires and create a very nice, smooth rolling pair of wheels. My 23mm Continental Grandprix TT tires measured out at 25.5mm wide on the wheel.
