H+Son TB14 Touring Rim

TB14 was inspired by the classic æsthetics of rims from the era when steel frames ruled competitive cycling and benefits from contemporary improvements in rim manufacture and design.

We have always admired the look of the classic box section rim. From sourcing double eyelets to crafting new molds for the valve badge and its hardware, H Plus Son dedicated neurotic attention and careful detail to every aspect of this rim. The TB14 is made with the stiffer and stronger G609 aluminum alloy and features a unique and invisible welded joint. Rims are anodized after machining.

We use this rim when we lace indestructible touring wheels, as well as for lighter randonneuring and city bikes. Use with a tire between 25mm and 42mm for best results, though we've successfully ridden these with 2-inch tires.
