These robust wood rims are artisan made by Antonio Cermenati in Magreglio, Italy. They are constructed of aged Slovenian beechwood, assembled in thin laminations that are joined by 2-part epoxy in a proprietary process that the Cermenati's have been perfecting for over 60 years.
Wheels made with wood rims have an unmistakable liveliness and exceptional shock absorption, yet surprising strength and damage resistance. Due to the individuality of handmade wood rims and the high level of skill required to build with wood, Wheelbuilder is one of the few companies that are capable of building these wheels.

Sport Wood Clincher Rim
The Sport rim carries a pressure limit of 4.5 bar (65 psi) and its beads do not have the "hooks" which are common on modern high-pressure rims. This design is the same as all clincher rims prior to the 1960's and carries a tire reliably as long as it is mounted carefully and pressure limits are observed. The "hookless" bead is universal for automotive and motorcycle rims.
