DERONDE Alloy Wheelset - Rim Brake
Description
The DERONDE Alloy Wheelset - Rim Brake is a hand-built, high-performance wheel set designed for riders who demand durability without sacrificing responsiveness. Built in the U.S. with premium ROL or White Industries hubs and stainless steel spokes, these wheels are made to handle everything from criterium corners to loaded touring routes and bumpy cyclocross courses. The 25mm alloy aero rim delivers a classic look with modern performance, and the tubeless-compatible design supports a wide tire range from 23mm road tires up to 45mm gravel tires.
With a 32-spoke count laced 3-cross front and rear, the DERONDE is built stiff, strong, and reliable - ideal for heavier riders, aggressive training, and rough road conditions. Whether you're chasing miles on industrial park crits or finessing gravel, these wheels are engineered to roll through it all and keep going.

FAQ
What kind of riding is the DERONDE best suited for?
The DERONDE is built for aggressive all-around riding - road training, criteriums, cyclocross, rough roads, and loaded touring. The 32-spoke 3-cross build and wide internal rim width make it especially well-suited for heavier riders or anyone who puts their wheels through serious punishment on a regular basis.
Are these wheels tubeless ready out of the box?
The DERONDE rims are tubeless compatible, meaning they are designed to work with a tubeless setup. You will need tubeless-compatible tires, rim tape, and sealant to complete the setup. Many riders report a straightforward tubeless installation with these rims.
What is the difference between the ROL and White Industries hub options?
The ROL hubs are ultralight sealed bearing hubs that offer excellent performance and value at the $700 price point. The White Industries hubs are American-made precision hubs renowned for their durability, smooth engagement, and long-term serviceability - they come at a $999 price point and are a popular upgrade for riders who plan to put serious miles on their wheels.
Which drivetrain systems are compatible with the DERONDE?
The DERONDE is available with your choice of freehub: Shimano HG (compatible with most Shimano and many other road groupsets), SRAM XDR (for SRAM's 12-speed road drivetrains), or Campagnolo (for Campy groupset users). Select your freehub at the time of purchase.
What is the warranty on these wheels?
ROL offers a Lifetime Warranty on alloy wheels, available as an optional add-on purchase. ROL also supports a crash warranty program - as noted by customers, ROL has rebuilt damaged wheels for a crash processing fee, demonstrating strong post-purchase support.
What tire widths will fit the DERONDE rims?
The DERONDE's 21mm internal width supports a wide range of tire sizes, from 23mm road tires up to 45mm gravel or cyclocross tires. This makes the wheelset highly versatile across different bike types and riding styles.
