00:00Paddy here from Hunt Bike Wheels. We've got our new 5AM Limitlesses to show down at Sea Otter this year.
00:05So these are our new latest and greatest. We think they're the most aerodynamic wheels on the market for their
00:10depth.
00:11They're also super lightweight at 1,212 grams. So really bringing a super good all-round performance, whether you're going
00:18up, down or along the flats.
00:20So we've achieved that really lightweight by going for a slightly deeper front wheel than rear wheel.
00:25So they're 58 mil deep on the front, 55 mil deep on the rear. Again, using our Limitless Bathit technology,
00:31where we put a low-density polymer in the hooks.
00:33And then we've also used a 3D angled spoke patch, which allows you to beef up the area that is
00:39taking all the force.
00:40And so, again, we've gone to a really low spoke count on these. So there's only 15 spokes in the
00:44front wheel.
00:45And so they've all got to be high-tension, Vanoha, Thai UD spokes.
00:50So they've got a titanium mandrel. It can be as light as 1.7 grams per spoke.
00:55And so it's been a total package where we've looked at every little feature of the wheel and made sure
00:59we've cut as much weight as possible
01:01and also kept the drag as low as we possibly could.
