Lynx Wheels by Vagari Cycling

$260.00 – $429.00

Cycling a twelve-mile five-day-a-week commute? No worries. Riding an overnight endurance event? It’s in the bag. Whether you ride an adventure road, fitness, trekking, gravel, hybrid, or touring bike, Lynx wheels are an excellent choice. And, they are designed to work on either rim brake-equipped or disc brake-equipped bikes.

With Lynx wheels, you’ll appreciate the responsiveness of the Shimano Deore hubs’ exquisitely smooth cup-and-cone bearing system. Paired with 36 Sapim Race double-butted spokes, laced in our strongest 3-cross pattern, and a double walled, triple-box Sun Ringle’ CR18 rim – and you get one seriously tough and incredibly comfortable wheel.

Not just tough, Lynx wheels look great too.  The black double-butted spokes and black hubs set the tone. Black low-profile rims with silver brake tracks, and an extra pop of silver at the spoke nipples and rim eyelets make for a truly attractive wheel.

Save $$$ with the unmatched quality and longevity of Vagari handbuilt wheels.

*All Vagari Cycling wheels are 100% handbuilt by expert craftspeople in our northern California workshop—no machines or power tools ever touch our wheels!

Description

Vagari Cycling LYNX wheels….

…are perfect for your rim brake-equipped or disc brake-equipped bike- these wheels work fabulously with either braking system.

…are designed for bikes with a fork end spread of 100mm and a frame dropout spread of 135 millimeters, and using quick release skewers.

…happily mount tires from 700x28mm (ERTRO size 28-622) to 700x40mm (40-622).  (To determine compatibility with your bike, check your current tire sidewall for size markings.)

*For riding on wider casing width tires (tires wider than 40mm), or for 29er mountain bikes, please refer to our LYNX XR wheels.

The LYNX wheel has a very classic low profile aesthetic and looks great on any bicycle—be it a hybrid, adventure road, gravel, trekking, fitness (a type of lighter, faster hybrid bike), or touring bike.  Having disc brake-compatible hubs and also machined brake tracks on the rims, these wheels are made to work fabulously with both disc and rim brake systems.

The black rims, hubs, and spokes—accentuated with a pop of silver at the nipples, rim eyelets, and rim brake tracks — make for extremely attractive wheels that remain looking slick long after the first few dozen rides….and no matter how dirty you get them. 

At Vagari Cycling, we hand build every LYNX wheel in our shop, right here in the U.S., using premium quality components that impress us.  By combining these parts with our decades of professional wheel building and bike repair experience, we create exceptional wheels that are more durable, longer lasting, and therefore more affordable than any other hand built or machine built wheels you can buy.

During every LYNX wheel build we:

  • carefully inspect every component, and ensure all hubs are optimally adjusted so you get the best roll right out of the box. 
  • thoroughly clean all spokes and nipples, and treat the spoke threads with spoke prep to make sure the wheels are built to last.  (Machine built wheels are not treated with spoke prep, and lose spoke tension more quickly.)
  • lace each wheel with 36 spokes in our strongest 3-cross lacing pattern. (This makes for a wheel that has increased comfort in the ride, high lateral rigidity for improved steering response, and a stellar level of durability for many thousands of miles of riding.)
  • tension each wheel slowly, by hand, to eliminate thread galling, spoke wind up, and damaged nipple fittings.  (This is something machines can’t do, and often leaves you replacing components and/or wheels prematurely.)
  • check the spoke tension at least 3 times, to make sure the wheel is perfect.  (Properly tensioned wheels are stronger and stay true longer.)

What’s in our LYNX wheels:

Rim: Sun Ringle’ CR18, 36 hole, aluminum alloy, black with machined brake tracks

  • These low profile rims are more forgiving than deeper rims when the wheel encounters any variation in the riding surface, lending to a more comfortable ride.
  • The machined brake tracks, a.k.a. sidewalls, on the rim provide optimal braking with all brake pads
  • Double walls with triple-box construction—long proven in BMX racing to withstand more stresses than other designs—uses geometric complexity for strength to create an incredibly durable rim.
  • Nickel-coated brass spoke hole eyelets in the rims protect against micro-cracks from forming in the rim and helps prevent corrosion from seizing the nipples to the rim—no “frozen” nipples mean no broken nipples when truing the wheel.

Hub: Shimano HB-M525A (front); Shimano FH-M525A (rear), both black, 36 hole

  • For disc brake applications, Lynx wheels are designed for 6-bolt rotor applications only. (For CenterLock-compatible rotor usage, see our Montoya or PackYDerm wheels.) Lynx wheels are also rim-brake compatible.
  • Rear hub is 8/9/10 and mountain 11 speed cassette compatible—also 7 speed compatible with a 4.5mm spacer.
  • Freehub rear—position of bearings better supports the axle, and protects against bending and breaking commonly found with freewheel systems.
  • Cup and cone design of these hubs allows for incredibly fast wheel rotation.
  • Super polished races prevent speed loss in corners, and allow for freakishly fast acceleration and rolling.
  • Double seals at each end to hold grease in, and to keep grime from entering and damaging the hub
  • Comes complete with quick release skewers

Spokes: Sapim Race, double-butted, stainless steel, J-bend, black

  • Stainless steel resists corrosion in all types of environments.
  • Sapim uses a stainless steel recipe and manufacturing processes that are superior to leading competitors—resulting in far fewer spoke failures.
  • Treated with black oxidation process that produces a sleek black finish that won’t chip
  • Double-butted Race spokes from Sapim have the right mix of elasticity for better shock absorption, and higher tensile strength to withstand greater shock forces—they hold up to road variations (rough roads, train tracks, etc.), and heavier load applications, better and longer than any other spoke we have used.

Nipples: Sapim Polyax, nickel-coated brass

  • Sapim Polyax brass nipples are many times stronger and more reliable than aluminum—they are much less likely to become brittle and crack from everyday riding stresses and environmental factors.
  • Polyax hemispherical head design more evenly distributes spoke tension pull, and helps prevent tearing through the rim.
  • Brass best holds up to maintenance—the “flats”, or spoke wrench fittings, are far less likely to round out during adjustments.
  • Brass is less likely to seize to the spoke or the rim due to galvanic corrosion—no “frozen” nipples mean no cracked or sheared nipples when truing the wheel.

Specs:

O.L.D. (Over-Lock-nut Dimension): 100mm Front / 135mm Rear

(O.L.D. is the measurement between the outside faces of the locknuts on the front and rear hubs—and should match the spread between the fork ends and also the rear dropouts on your bike frame. Nearly all forks that accept quick release-mounted wheels are 100mm. The most common rear dropout spreads for traditional quick-release (Q/R) wheels are 135mm and 130mm, though others, including 126mm and 120mm—found primarily on vintage pre-1990s frames— exist.)
