<h1>Nipples</h1><i>To accompany these high-end spokes we selected brass nipples for our Hunt 4Season wheels. Brass is strong and corrosion resistant plus it has self-lubricating properties to prevent issues that can arise from grit salt on the winter roads corroding the fine threads in alloy nipples. As well as the standard square body we chose nipples with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning.</i>

<h1>Hubs</h1><i>Extra seals and shielding built-into all four hub caps and the freehub body. As you can see from the image in the gallery each hub cap and the freehub body have o-ring seals (the freehub cap has a lip seal). It‚Äôs also important that the hub shell is designed to overlap the hub caps providing extra shielding from water ingress. Your Hunt 4Season Aero wheels will provide many miles of fast hassle-free year round riding.</i>

<h1>Bearings</h1><i>The heart of any wheel. Investing in them makes huge sense. We sought out something extra and that is why the bearings are supplied by TPI. We invested extra to spec their high-grade precision sealed cartridge bearings which are trusted by many of the world's leading engineering, cycling and automotive companies. The TPI bearings are also upgraded to LU/LB seals which are low-friction on the inside and provide maximum sealing on the exposed faces.</i>

<h1>Skewers</h1><i>The little details matter, the Hunt 4Season quick-release polymer-cam skewers even have upgraded stainless steel springs so they don‚Äôt rust.</i>

<h1>Spokes</h1><i>We chose the top-of-the-range Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement PSR XTRA models. These butted blade spokes are lighter but also provide a greater degree of elasticity and thus maintain spoke tensions longer and are more fatigue resistant. PSR spokes feature the wider 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. J-bend made sense for four season use as replacements are easy to find. The nipples are brass, which is strong and corrosion resistant.</i>

<h1>Freehub Body</h1><i>Featuring a 3 multi-point pawls with 3 teeth each and a 48t ratchet ring results in an impressively low 7.5 deg engagement angle and excellent resistance to wear under heavy loads. The 4Season freehub also features strong individual leaf pawl springs which are faster at rebounding in poor winter conditions when viscous grease and grime can affect weaker springs. There is also a Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage.</i>

<h1>Tyres</h1><i>At HUNT, we enjoy the puncture resistance and grip benefits of tubeless on our every-day rides so we wanted to allow our customers the same option. Of course, all of our tubeless-ready wheels are designed to work perfectly with clincher tyres and inner tubes too.</i>

<h1>Weight</h1><i>The consequence of the fanatic attention to detail is a resulting 1579 gram wheelset weight. For such a durable wheelset acceleration and climbing are delivered with ease, just don't tell your ride mates your secret.</i>

THE LAST WORD IN FIT-AND-FORGET PERFORMANCE FOR YOUR RIM-BRAKE BIKE

The Purpose

Look no further for a wheelset designed to take on a full winters’ training, without compromising when the sun comes out and the hammer goes down.

With features like a 24/28 spoke count, extra sealing on the hubs, and brass nipples - these wheels want for nothing when being punished all year long. The only downside is you can no longer use trashing your equipment as an excuse to stay indoors!

Warranty, HUNT Rolling Road Tests & Weight Limits

A full 2 years from purchase date warranty is offered to the original purchaser only on all Hunt bike wheels against material or workmanship defects, please click here to read full details.

All HUNT wheels models have to pass our harsh cobbled-rolling-road tests for rider weight limits, please see here for more details. 115kgs is the upper recommended rider weight limit for these wheels. Please include the weight of any luggage in your total rider weight when choosing the correct wheels. If a rider is over 95Kgs then an experienced bike mechanic should check the wheel regularly and it is advisable to use tyres minimum 25mm at max 100psi as this will reduce the fatigue on the wheelset. We are cyclists ourselves and do of course go above and beyond to offer excellent service if you ever do experience any issues. We carry full spares at very reasonable prices and offer complete support.

60 Day Ride & Return Period. We are certain you'll be impressed by the acceleration, low-weight, speed and durability of our wheels. We are cyclists and as such strive to offer class leading service and support. Buy with confidence, if for any reason you wish to return the wheels for a full refund of your order you can do so up to a full 60 days after you receive them whether they have been ridden or not. Please note we cannot offer refunds on wheels that have suffered from crash damage but do offer a crash replacement discount.

Tubeless Tyre Fitting Options

Schwalbe Pro One Tubeless Tyres- 23, 25 or 28mm

The Schwalbe Tubeless road tyres consistently win plaudits from journalists and customers alike. We have been testing them for a long time and have been very impressed. The One Pro's are Schwalbe's top of the range tyres and feature their triple compound tread so you get extremely low rolling-resistance combined with excellent grip and durability.

Hutchinson Fusion 5 All-Season Tubeless Tyres

Hutchinson Fusion 5 All-Season Tubeless-Ready Tyres - 25mm

The Hutchinson Fusion 5 All Season is optimised to provide the best performance and adhesion in all weather conditions. Unlike most other all season tires, the Fusion 5 All Season is made up of the best materials available to Hutchinson. Just like the more all-round Fusion 5 Performance that I tested last week, the All Season uses a 127 TPI folding casing with a Kevlar anti-puncture layer. The only thing that has changed is the use of a grippier all season rubber compound: HDF 5.3.

Hutchinson Sector 28/32mm Tubeless Tyres - Ideal for 4Season Riding

The Hutchinson Sector tyre was developed alongside the Europcar professional cycling team to take on the brutal Paris-Roubaix cobbled classic. The tyre is tough enough to with stand the incredibly rough cobbled surfaces and provides enough grip for both dry dusty corners and wet muddy corners alike. These characteristics make it a fantastic tyre for use during the wet conditions found in the European winter. Coupled with the enhanced puncture resistance offered by tubeless these tyres are hard to beat for wet and winter riding.
