For the gen one- we had them built for us on a Tri-spoke along with the 88’s and 45’s.
When I decided to offer the XS on the 650 wheel platform- I decided to re-do all the wheels - 700 and 650 line - so we opened new molds on disc’s, 88’s and 45’s for both sizes 700 and 650’s.
Now we own all the molds.
If I was going to spend the money to make all new wheel molds - I also wanted the most up to date shapes, material, brake track and overall quality.
I think the margin we are making is fair - that also makes for a great option for athletes with respect to cost.
