Another quick update;

Just as I hoped, my brand new continental GP5000 STR in size 700x30 measures real 31.9-32mm at max pressure. This means great theoretical shape!

@teddygram Iā€™m in Au, if I wanted to get a pair of the wheels youā€™ve just had built up what do I ask for when I approach either the local rep or Nextie direct? BTW, Iā€™ve got some Nextie XC mtb rims that are going on five years old and theyā€™re bombproof.

Hi @bmcd !

I finally have the final verdict on the naming and all the components for this wheel system. It has been decided that this wheel system will be called ARS (Aero Race System).

So, that means you will have the following rims:

  • NXT30ARS
  • NXT35ARS
  • NXT40ARS
  • NXT45ARS
  • NXT50ARS
  • NXT60ARS

The hubs are Nextie Rollingstar II 20-hole.

The spokes will be NXTCS09, which is a 4.5mm diameter wide spoke. The NXTCS09 weighs 3.3g each. There is also another spoke that was considered or developed that weighs 1.7g each but is only 2.64mm in width. I elected the wider, slightly heavier spoke as the wheelset is already so light. I am very heavy, and the deeper spoke made more sense aerodynamically speaking to me.

I am not sure when this information will be on the website but this is all the information you would need.

In theory, you could do the 60mm rims at 1200g with the lighter spoke!

This is a possibility yes!

I forgot to mention in my conversations, Nextie has certified the ARS with NXTCS09 for use in gravel if a user would like too. My gut would be this is ā€œactualā€ gravel and not slight XC gravelā€¦
