With its 30mm deep, 24mm wide rim the Lark Tubs are at home on or off road. The high strength, wide rim supports tubular tyres while being deep enough to offer some aerodynamic benefit on the road and repel mud build-up in cyclocross.
Brake setup with calipers or cantis is easy on the ultra flat 9.5mm wide brake track for smooth consistent braking in all conditions.
The Lark Tub wheels are built with 24 spokes front and rear, with the rear being arranged in our usual super-strong 2:1 configuration which uses 16 spokes on the highly stressed drive side, and 8 on the non-drive side. This results in very even spoke tensions and a strong, durable wheel. Hubs are our “standard” J-bend road hubs which use large long-lasting stainless steel bearings with excellent sealing while maintaining a low weight of 85g front / 216g rear.

about your wheels
custom built wheels
This wheelset is built to order. We hold most parts in stock and build them after you have ordered. The build time is advertised on the front page on under the title.
what’s included
- Wheels are set-up with the axles and freehub you have selected.
- All wheels have tubeless tape applied.
- There are no additional parts provided.
build quality
During the building process all components are bedded in, stretched, and tensioned repeatedly so the wheels won’t go out of true. We inspect, check and finish every wheel with equal care.
handbuilt in the UK
We built the wheels in our York, UK workshop.
