The new Airia wheels are amazing! In my case I went for an Airia 47 front and 52 rear. A little wider to run with road tires, but mostly to be used with wider gravel tires, and there are SUPER fast in either setup! Weighing in right on target at about 1,190grams, they are still deep and aero and you can just feel them carrying all that speed while slicing through the air. Just as impressive is the ride, supple and more comfortable than you would expect from a deeper rim, and no where near as chattery or harsh as all the other deep section wheels I've used in the past. Here's a wheelset with all the features, aero and lightweight, just like the "special" wheelset used to win The Tour this year, at a fraction of the cost. I've built thousands of wheels, well over a hundred using Light Bicycle rims of all styles and generations. Light Bicycle rims have always been amazing, and the quality is easily as good as anyone else, while continuing to improve with each new style. It's been decades since I've used a wheel built by anyone other than myself, but I trust LB and their process and decided to let them have a go at this set for me. Airia 47/52 combination using Pace Hubs upgraded to ceramic bearings and 48t cassette and built with 24 Sapim CX-Ray spokes and Sapim Secure-Lock nipples. Working with Light Bicycle to get just the build I wanted was extremely easy, with quick responses and willing changes to any small requests I made. The build itself was top-notch; built, shipped and arrived timely and with impeccable packaging! Thanks Light Bicycle!
