Product Overview
This 700c wheelset features 45mm deep-section rims laced to flip-flop hubs with 32 black spokes per wheel. The rear hub includes both a 16-tooth fixed cog and 16-tooth freewheel, allowing riders to choose between fixed-gear or single-speed freewheel operation. Includes Chaoyang tires and inner tubes for a ready-to-ride setup.
Key Features
- 45mm deep-section rims – Aerodynamic rim profile adds stiffness and visual impact; 36-hole drilling for durable spoke count

- Loose ball bearing hubs – Serviceable hub design allows for adjustment and maintenance; lower cost than sealed bearing systems

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases
This wheelset fits any frame and fork designed for 700c wheels with track-style horizontal dropouts or adjustable rear dropouts (required for proper chain tension on fixed-gear or single-speed setups). Not compatible with derailleur-geared bikes or vertical dropouts without a chain tensioner. The flip-flop hub design is ideal for fixed-gear and single-speed riders who want the option to switch between fixed and freewheel riding styles. Best suited for urban commuting, track riding, or street use on fixed-gear or single-speed builds. Verify your frame's rear spacing (typically 120mm for track/fixed frames) before ordering.
