"B" is for "Bikes & sponsors: (2) Venn Wheels"

Venn Wheels will be providing fast, aero, and strong carbon wheels, as well as other finishing kit such as handlebars, stems, seatposts, and disc brake rotors.

I am lucky that the already super-fast Velocite Syn will be equipped with Venn's cutting-edge Rev 35 TCD 35mm-deep carbon wheels, the disc brake specific model, shod with tubeless tyres.  Previously, Venn have sponsored and provided wheels to the UCI Continental team, Team3M.


The name "Rev" is short for "Revolutionary", as it is manufactured by an accurate, computer-controlled, automated filament-winding process (not by sub-minimum wage human labour) making it much higher quality and stronger, not prone to sudden failures caused by human error.

Currently available in 35mm depth, a 50mm deep Rev 50 wheelset will be available soon - I look forward to trying these!


The Revs are so strong that they are also used offroad as 29er wheels with great success, and I look forward to demonstrating both their speed and strength in all ultra races this year!
