Description: f you're a 10-speed die-hard, but looking for a wheelset upgrade, the HED Ardennes FR Clincher Wheelset is one of the best-performing wheelsets – the FR in the name is short for Flamme Rouge, HED's top-shelf designation. It's a lightweight, scandium-rimmed wheelset that's also fast, strong, and makes any tire grip the road better. The hubs are Sonic, they run ABEC5 bearings on oversized axles, 12mm in front and 15mm in the rear. HED spaced the flanges as widely as possible to create a stronger bracing angle, resulting in better lateral stiffness. The front hub has a carbon-fiber tube with aluminum end caps. The rear is aluminum with flanges. The spokes are Sapim's popular and aerodynamic CX-Ray spokes with self-securing aluminum nipples. The straight-pull spokes are laced radially in front to aluminum end caps bonded to a carbon fiber shaft. The rear is laced two-cross for greater stiffness. The spokes are polished and silver in color. There are 18 spokes in front and 24 in the back. The rim depth is 24mm. The rim is 23mm wide. As this wheel has the Flamme Rouge designation, you know everything has been pared down to reduce weight. The rim is Scandium rather than aluminum. The ratchet ring in the rear hub is titanium as well. Even the rear hub has been stepped up, with a grease port and carbon-fiber port cap; with this, you can power-wash your bike and re-lube without taking your wheel apart.HED's Ardennes Flamme Rouge are available in 10-speed-compatible Shimano
