DCR SL Road (Carbon)

The DCR SL Road carbon wheelset exhibits incredible weight savings, a five year rim warranty and still features our reliable road hubs. It is available in a rim brake version and two disc brake versions.

Prices from £780. The DCR SL Road Carbon wheelset is ideal for competitive summer riding because of its low weight and its good braking performance. Again, our eye has been kept keenly on value, however the set is still hand built by us in Sussex to our usual superlative standards. The weight has been kept low (1298g/pair for rim brake, from 1330g for disc brake) whilst also providing a stiff and resilient setup.

We have all the parts in stock to build this wheelset. By using the link below, you will be entered into our build queue. If you require the wheels urgently, please enquire about lead times or select a wheelset that is built and ready for dispatch.

This is from our carbon range. Looking for something with aluminium rims? Why not try our DCR Standard Wheelset?

Extremely Light But Durable

The prices listed below provide the wheelset including UK shipping and tubeless rim tape.  We build the wheels with black hubs, black spokes and black alloy nipples. The DCR hubs used here have our dedicated UK weather treatment to ensure maximum longevity and best possible performance, as well as fast freehub engagement and anti-bite system on the Shimano versions.  Campagnolo (including N3W), XD and XDR, and Shimano Microspline freehubs can be fitted if required.  The rim brake hubs can also be adapted between 130mm and 135mm spacing, and the disc brake hubs can be adapted between quick release and thru-axle standards. 

Rim Brake

1298g/pair. The Venn 30mm SL carbon rim, DCR standard road hubs and Sapim CX-Ray spokes offer a great lightweight, high ride quality and laterally stiff wheelset. Unlike most rim brake carbon rims on the market, the Venn 30mm SL carbon rims are Graphene impregnated and feature a textured braking surface, providing class-leading braking which is both predictable and reliable. The 21mm internal width works very well with 23/25/28c tyres but wider tyres can be fitted as well. Their shape is a modern aero rounded profile, which although isn’t as aerodynamic as the deeper rims in the lineup (contact us for details). There is a bead locking system and subtle hook compatible with all road tubeless and tubeless ready road tyres. A deep central channel ensures easier installation and removal of tyres.

Disc Brake

1330g (SL Rims) or 1430g (Standard Rims). A nice wide profile that is suitable for road disc and gravel applications – a great option for a carbon disc brake wheelset. They work very well with 25/28c tyres but wider tyres can be fitted as well, making it a particularly versatile option. It is sufficiently shallow that it provides excellent stability in a range of conditions – the profile is arguably aero however has not been meticulously optimised in this way.  It would be an aero alternative to a box section aluminium rim, however aerodynamically is a poor performer against the Venn 37, 507 and 77 rims.

Spokes And Nipples

Using Sapim’s alloy nipples and our nipple/spoke prep means that even in all year round use alloy nipples are still a sound choice.  We provide a lifetime warranty on the build/spokes on this basis.  Changing your hub colour can be done without any additional charge, as can a switch to silver spokes if required. DCR titanium skewers can be added for £30.  International delivery is possible but will incur an additional charge.

Venn 30mm SL Rims

The Venn 30mm SL rim is a sound choice for a lightweight carbon wheelset. It boasts an incredibly low weight and in its rim brake version, a super high temperature tolerance. Being 30mm deep the rim is robust and nice and stiff, being 24mm wide (19mm internal for rim brake, 21mm internal for disc brake) it is best suited to tyres from 25c upwards and provides good support for those tyres increasing the volume of air within them. For best results, we do recommend a tubeless setup on these wheels which we can provide for you should you require.  If you wish to directly purchase the wheelset, you can do so using the links below.  We endeavour to keep this wheelset in stock at all times, should we run out of stock at any point we will write to you as soon as possible to advise.
