Description

Condition
Honest working condition. Brake surfaces show uneven wear with light pitting from use – they’ve been sanded and are functional but show their history. Hubs spin freely and smoothly. Both wheels are true and round, ready for training miles or winter duty. These are solid, dependable wheels that have plenty of life left in them.

Inspected and Trued
Every wheelset I sell has been personally mounted on my truing stand and thoroughly inspected for true, round, and spoke tension. These wheels are ready to ride. Please note that due to the precise nature of wheel builds and shipping considerations, wheels cannot be returned or exchanged. That’s why I encourage you to watch the detailed video included with this listing and reach out with any questions before purchasing.

🏆 The Story Behind the WheelsArya Rims (Japan) / Shimano Exage 700c – Japanese Craftsmanship Meets Shimano Reliability

“The Workhorse Legacy”

In the 1990s, Japanese rim manufacturers like Arya built wheels that prioritized durability and precision over flash. Paired with Shimano’s respected Exage component line – the workhorse tier that powered countless training miles for serious cyclists – these wheels represent an era when mid-level components were built to last decades, not seasons. The Exage hubs were designed for riders who needed dependable performance through winter slush, spring rain, and summer heat without breaking the bank.

The brake surfaces tell the story – they’ve stopped on wet descents, grabbed hard in pacelines, and brought riders home safely through thousands of miles. At 1035g front and 1250g rear, they’re built with enough substance to handle rough roads and heavy weather without complaint. They’re not trying to be something they’re not – they’re straightforward training wheels that show up ready to work, every single ride.
