Both front and rear wheels feature 24 DT Aerocomp bladed spokes are laced 2x all around to Reynolds Road Center Lock Disc hubs, using DT alloy nipples. When properly tensioned on the stout rim, power transfer is immediate and braking forces are controlled. No wind-up here. This is one of the huge benefits of straight-pull spokes for disc wheels and explains the lower spokes counts. Remember, these aren't mountain bike wheels, but highly capable road or cross wheels. Another important reason to run straight-pull spokes is to protect the rim, and hence the rider, from impacts. On impact, the rim can compress a little, with the spokes allowed to correspondingly slide inside the hub interface. J-Bend spokes rely on the spokes actually bending at impact and that response is mitigated by higher tension. Straight-pull spokes can be run at higher tension without compromising rim integrity or impact protection, and build out to a stiffer, more resilient wheel that defeats disc braking and acceleration torsion at the hub. The alloy hubs themselves are strong, and feature sealed cartridge bearing that are as smooth and durable as they are simple to maintain. The freehub system engages surely and quickly for prompt pedal input and acceleration.

The simplicity and solid feel of the Center Lock disc interface continues to gain converts. Removing or installing rotors takes seconds and the overall system is lighter than 6-bolt options. The hubs are set-up for quick release use (100/135mm spacing) and can easily be adapted to 12 or 15mm thru-axle in the front and 12/142 in the rear. The Reynolds rim tape and valves for tubeless set-up is a proven system that delivers reliable results with proper Tubeless Ready tires.

If you want a lightweight carbon, super responsive, disc brake, tubeless ready road wheelset, the list of options isn't long. Take your time. Compare the wheels. Consider the price points. Examine the manufacturers. If you are a masochist, read all the online reviews you can find. We will be willing to bet that you will keep coming back to the Reynolds Attack Disc Brake Clincher. Why? You will weigh information and reviews versus capability and price. And when you get right down to it, you will be hard pressed to pass Reynolds by. Just think what other components, upgrades, race fees, or engagement ring you can buy with the money you save? Or maybe you simply buy two sets of Attacks so you can have two tire options ready for race day. Whatever your decision making process, or what you do with the money you save, we feel confident you won't ever regret making the Attack disc your wheel of choice for road or cross. We feel that strongly about it, and we believe you will too.
