NOTE: These custom graphics wheels are available by the wheelset only, and the pricing is for TWO wheels. We’re launching a brand new wheel set, and we wanted to do it with a splash. So we teamed up with Dustin Klein, designer extraordinaire and all-around rad human. The base image comes from a photo from Forest Park in Portland, but you can take the spirit of this awesome city park wherever your rides may be. And the Fluo orange adds a nice color pop. The net effect is spectacular — if we do say so ourselves! These are a special edition offering, and they’re only available for a very limited time. UPDATE: We are now offering the custom DKLEIN wraps on Mix Tape Pista (fixed / track) and Mix Tape Disc wheel sets as well! Just use the order buttons to select those. Contact us with any questions.
The Hootenanny 23 650b/27.5 and 29er wheels are the successor to the original Hootenanny model. These wheels are a touch wider (23mm vs 21mm internal), and we’ve made them a bit lighter (20 grams per wheel) without sacrificing strength, durability, or ride quality. They’re sensational: still light weight, affordable, durable, and they will guarantee your shred is damned fun. They’re ready for tubeless tires as soon as you are, and setup is an absolute breeze with our rims.
The Hootenanny 23 wheels will tackle the uphills with fervor, and the downhills with aplomb and panache. You’ll be screaming “Bravo!” and begging for an encore, grinning ear-to-ear as you go.
