H+Son Commute Customs

H+Son rims are coming soon to QBP and Handspun, and we’ve been lucky enough to get our hands on a few pair to build up. Aside from building some of the SL-42 rims as track wheels, we built a couple pair of the Formation Face 42mm rims as disc wheels.

To really put these wheels through the wringer we gave them to our pal Derrick Lewis, the head of BMC North America. Derrick rides his custom Peacock Groove commute bike 5 days a week, all winter long. When asked for five words to describe how these wheels have performed over the past few months Derrick said:

1. WHITE
2. SOLID
3. HOT
4. FAST
5. ENVY

These wheels have endured the harsh Minnesota winter (including a pretty spectacular crash on the ice), and are still true and ready for more.
