Recently we have done a number of colour anodising on the White Industries hubs. These colours are not readily available from White Industries. We have the tools to remove the bearings, ratchets and everything in order to strip everything from the hubs to prepare them for the anodising process. Enjoy the pictures!  

At 60mm profile depth, the SL28.6 carbon clincher wheel is similar to the Zipp 404s. The SL28.6 has a very wide internal width of 17.5mm that will enable more tyre air volume for better ride quality and a max width of 28mm at the external. The bigger difference lies in the SL28s ability to withstand higher spoke tension (130kgf at drive side) as compare to the Zipps where they are limited to 100kgf. In short, when we built our wheels, we do not have the need to use strong bonding glue to secured the spokes and nipples as the high spoke tensions...

Some of you may have noticed that the Venn 507 (50.7mm depth) aren't designed like the other popular "U-shaped" rims. The curvy "V-shape" of the 507 is a result of extensive CFD work (Computational Fluid Dynamics) by Velocite. The 507 is designed to work especially well with 25mm tyres (25mm is measured at inflation; we will come to that later) in terms of aerodynamics performance. As Victor Major, CEO for Velocite mentioned, most of the current rims in the market are good in aerodynamics for tyres up to max 24mm width.  Combining the aerodynamics with Venn's revolutionary methods of carbon rim...

Onyx Freehub Body for Shimano / Sram user is now available in alloy. The current Onyx freehub bodies are made of stainless steel. While they are tough and good looking they tend to be significantly heavier.  The new alloy version also has a steel insert to stop cassette bites from prolong usage.  Daniel Orellana from Onyx mentioned to us that the alloy version will save about 30g from its stainless steel counter part.  For existing Onyx hub users - Get this new alloy version and upgrade from your existing staineless steel freehub body at only SGD160.00 (Usual SGD180) - available only...

As you can see, to date we have build quite a number of wheels in this short period of 2 years, again many thanks to my supporters and riders.( www.facebook.com/wheelangel ) But no thanks to the following - like many professional builders around the world, Wheel Angel do not need to be certified by a piece of paper that qualifies you to be "professional". We are already good. We are also aware of some smearing campaign that directs at builders who aren't "certified" Please carry on your obsession with your certificate. Because we want to do better than that.
