BMC SLR Upgraded: Custom SLR 54 Carbon Wheels with Chris King Matte Slate Hubs
BMC SLR: The "Angry Bee" Upgrade
What does loyalty look like? For our customer Carlo, it’s his 3rd custom wheelset from Wheel Angel. This time, we paired his vibrant orange BMC SLR with a build designed to feel faster, not just lighter.
