Wheel Angel SLR 49 carbon wheelset laced to White Industries CLD hub on custom Mason bike

Mason Custom Aluminium Upgrade: Hand-Built SLR 49s & White Industries Hubs

Factory wheelsets suffer from lateral flex under load, wasting precious watts and causing out-of-true rims. Upgrading your road bike with a precision hand-built carbon wheelset unlocks maximum power efficiency, crisp cornering, and instant acceleration. 

Key Upgrade Highlights

  • Mason Custom Aluminium Frame: Engineered for purposeful alloy compliance, utility, and long-term durability.

  • Wheel Angel SLR 49 Carbon Rims: 49mm mid-depth profile optimized for aerodynamic speed and stable crosswind handling

  • Wide Internal Profile: Perfectly pairs with modern 28c–32c tubeless tyres (featured with Vittoria Corsa Pro tan walls) for lower rolling resistance and smoother cornering grip

  • White Industries CLD Hubs: Made-in-USA precision with a 6Al-4V Titanium Freehub Body that eliminates cassette gouging for a lifetime of smooth rolling

  • Hand-Built Precision: Laced and trued in-house with uniform spoke tension to guarantee lateral stiffness and eliminate long-term spoke fatigue

Immediate Ride Benefits

  1. Zero Power Loss: Direct energy transfer from pedals to pavement without lateral frame or wheel flex

  2. Effortless Speed Maintenance: Deep 49mm aero rim profile holds momentum effortlessly on flat and rolling roads

  3. Plush Vibration Damping: Modern tubeless setup running lower tyre pressures mutes harsh road chatter
