WHEELS: Stella Azzurra Quadrante

When it comes to alloy wheelsets, there are two things to consider: 1: Am I doing a lot of climbing and hills today? 2: Am I hammering on flat roads? If the Alps, Pyrenees, Appalachians or Rockies are on your calendar, you just might be interested in a set of Quadrantes. Because when you soar with eagles, you're gonna wanna low-profile rim, see? Quadrantes are the perfect choice for climbs - artfully-sculpted 6000-series aluminum rims grace this 700c clincher wheelset. For looks, Quadrantes are anodized matte black and have the sidewalls CNC buzzed, high 'n tight. Our hubs are forged and then CNC machined for perfect balance and come with sealed bearings and low-breakage 2.4mm, stainless, aero spokes - 24 up front and 28 in the rear. The whole kit and caboodle weighs a paltry 1620g. Italian cassette? No problem. Japanese? Done. We even kick in stainless QR skewers. But what's a Quadrante, you ask? Come on, it's the old 16th century navigation tool for ancient mariners. But you knew that, right?
