They even offer a ‘Re-Gen’ scheme offering up to 40 per cent off your next wheels if you return your existing set for refurbishment with a view to building up stock for a ‘reconditioned’ wheel shop so you can get limited warranty Scribes even cheaper in the future.READ FIRST For LIVE CHAT regarding cycling please visit #bicycling on Snoonet ![]() As well as a three-year warranty they offer a crash replacement scheme where they’ll either rebuild your wheels in-house in Ireland if you pay postage or supply fresh gear and cover reasonable costs of your local wheel builder. If you can’t be bothered fighting with sealing and sealants yourself Scribe also offer pre-fitted deals on Schwalbe, Hutchinson, Conti or Panaracer tire options. Fat 28mm or 30mm plus tires feel fine though as long as you remember to keep pressures a lot lower than you would on a narrower rim with a narrower tire. We’d suggest that Scribe’s 25mm upwards tire compatibility needs nudging upsize as rubber that width feels splayed and wooden as their sidewalls are pulled out further than intended and even narrower 28mm tires don’t always feel great. That’s useful as they’re not particularly forgiving in terms of ride quality but they’re not overly punishing either so you can alter trail feel to most tastes just by altering tire pressures or size. When we’ve not managed to dodge impacts (or just been belligerent in the name of testing) we’ve rimmed them out a good few times without any signs or sounds of damage and they hold pressure well even at cyclocross psi. ![]() The low rim height means no danger of crosswind catch or tram lining on high-speed descents either so they always give clean, precise and easily targeted placement on the road and rapid traction catch or between rock slotting accuracy off-road. The tight-laced Sapim spokes produce an equally tight and direct drive feel that emphasizes their pop under power even further. Their low weight means they dance up to speed very easily whether you’re grunting out of a filthy bog off-road or putting down the pain out of a rising corner on the road. ![]() The rims come in 700c or 650b sizing and there are three rim decal color options, too.īeyond those potential sticking points, the Gravel Wide++ wheels are extremely impressive though. If you’re a fiber sniffer Scribe’s rims use a T700/800 Toray carbon weave, with ‘TG’ glass transition resin and a special Carbon T-Tech reinforcement (extra UD plies) for the hot-pressed hookless sidewalls and ramped spoke bed. That makes sourcing replacements in remote places easier too. Having said that the ‘J-bend’ spokes hook into conventional flanged hubs with built-in rotational flexibility rather than using a straight pull set up like most ultralight wheels. Being awkward, cynical sods we asked Scribe what the 4th dimension is and it’s the specific rim to flange angling to make construction easier, so basically time. Part of that comes from the shallow 23.5mm hookless rim depth but the spokes are the ubiquitously excellent and lightweight Sapim CX Ray blades threaded into alloy nipples at the ‘4D’ drilled rim. At under 1,300g before you add the supplied tubeless valves they’re seriously light for a 25mm internal width rimmed wheel with 28 spokes on either end. Scribe sell direct to minimize compounding costs of extra shop and delivery layers and the Gravel Wide ++ made an immediate impression out of the box. The lightweight hookless rim design has a 25mm internal rim diameter (Image credit: Guy Kesteven) Construction
