Here at Excel Sports, we love a great training wheel that can be raced without a disadvantage. The Reserve 35|35 is your mileage hog, your ultra-reliable training partner, your KOM-grabber, and your week-in, week-out wheelset. It’s aerodynamic, but not as deep as some of Reserve's other offerings, so you’ll still get quick, predictable handling on blustery spring days. The 21mm internal width will work equally well with 25mm race tires and 30-35mm training/offseason/cyclocross tires, and the traditional bead hook means the wheels can happily be set up tubeless or with tubes. In keeping with its workmanlike ways, you’ll find external nipples and normal spokes, as Reserve doesn’t think you should ever have to take a tire and rim tape off just to re-tension a spoke.

DT Swiss supplies their fast responding, incredibly reliable, wonderfully easy-to-service DT Swiss 350 Center Lock disc hubset for this version of the 35|35 wheelset. The 350's aren't the lightest in the line, the 180's have that lofty perch, but are much more cost effective, allowing the 1497 gram wheelset to come in at $1800. The straightpull spokes allow for very high tension, excellent power transfer, lateral stiffness, and some rim and rider forgiveness. External nipples are used for easy true/tension with this 24 hole (front and rear) set-up with 2x/2x lacing all-around. The hubs are built for thru-axle use, with a 12/100mm front and 12/142mm rear configuration to go along with the Center Lock disc rotor interface. The drive system on the rear hub is the DT 36SL Ratchet freehub; known as one of the easiest ever offered to service or replace, with exceptional reliability and engagement. DT's own steel cartridge bearings and seals are superior, delivering exceptional protection from the elements and long life.
