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.


The Spec Sheet

  • Rims: Wheel Angel SLR 54 Carbon (Tubeless Ready)

  • Hubs: Chris King Precision – Matte Slate 🐝

  • Tires: Vittoria Corsa Pro Gumwalls

  • The Vibe: Premium boutique performance without the "halo-brand" markup.


Why This Setup Works

  • 54mm Depth: The sweet spot for Singapore flats and overseas climbs. Aerodynamic speed meets lightweight agility.

  • Chris King Hubs: Legendary "Angry Bee" sound and hubs that actually get faster with age. The Matte Slate finish adds a stealthy, sophisticated touch.

  • The Professional Look: Gumwall tires against deep carbon rims—pure aesthetic speed.

Rider's Note: Our SLR rims feature a rounded profile to shed crosswinds, keeping your steering stable even when the pace heats up.
