Carbon Downhill Wheels Built to Take Hits
Downhill carbon wheels from Light Travel Cycling are reinforced gravity wheelsets built for bike-park and race use, hand-laced to your hub and spoke spec. Each wheel is checked for spoke tension, roundness and lateral runout before shipping and covered by a 5-year warranty.
