Description

Condition
Excellent overall. Brake surfaces are pristine with minimal wear. Hubs spin smooth as silk with sealed cartridge bearings. Wheels are true to less than 1mm – dialed in and ready to race. Some minor discoloration on the rims from use, but structurally and functionally excellent. These are legitimately nice wheels.

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 WheelsBontrager RaceLite 700c – Trek’s Performance Answer

“Racing Spirit”

In the early-2000s, 2005ish, Trek needed wheelsets that could match the performance of their higher-end road bikes without the boutique price tag. The RaceLite was their answer – bladed spokes for aerodynamics, sealed cartridge bearings for reliability, and a distinctive anodized finish that turned heads in the peloton. These weren’t entry-level training wheels; they were spec’d on bikes like the Madone for riders who wanted performance without compromise.

────────────────────────────────────────

🚴 The Ride
The RaceLite wheelset delivers crisp acceleration thanks to bladed spokes and low rotational weight at just over 4 pounds. Sealed bearings mean less maintenance and more riding. The 20/24 spoke count keeps things stiff and responsive – these wheels transfer power efficiently when you’re out of the saddle or driving through a corner. These wheels remind you why Bontrager earned respect in the peloton.
