Trailblazer 29er Rear BOOST Wheel

IMPORTANT - Minimum tire size 30mm. Max 70PSI.
This is not the wheelset to use with both 25mm road tires and also gravel tires. The Altamont Lite is perfect for that. The CCC is a gravel optimized wheelset, for when you want to have the best possible configuration for those larger tires.

If you're going to ride the gravel roads, we think you should know where they came from.

The CCC is a gravel-specific wheelset built to take you far off the beaten path. The new light weight, durable alloy wheelset complements Boyd’s current carbon Pinnacle 700c and Jocassee 650b offering and promises adventure at an affordable $700 price point.

The CCC, a name engrained in history as the wooded roads it represents, borrows its moniker from the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC was a voluntary public unemployment program designed to provide jobs for young men and to help families who faced challenges finding jobs during the Great Depression. In the mountains of South Carolina there are remnants of “Old CCC” roads deep in the woods that have become favorite exploration destinations for Boyd Johnson, founder of Boyd Cycling.

The 6069 series alloy rim weighs in at 415 grams in a 700c size and 395 grams in the 650b. Built with the highly rated Quest Disc Brake hubs, the complete wheelset nets a scant 1515 grams for 700c set and 1475 grams for the 650b. Spoke count options are 24f/28r and 28f/32r built using Pillar Wing 20 spokes and external brass nipples.

“Going way off the beaten path and onto roadbeds that haven’t been active for decades is some of the most fun I’ve had on a bike,” said Johnson. “I’ve come across old moonshine distilleries and people on 4-wheelers, but never any traffic. Going that remote means the durability of the equipment is a must.”

With that in mind the CCC is a wheelset that can handle rugged off-road terrain, while still performing on pavement sections.  The alloy gravel-specific rim is 25mm internal and has a 2.8mm offset. It features smaller .7mm hooks (compared to most standard 1.1mm hooks) with increased thickness on the hook walls (1.35mm) for better impact protection while running lower pressures.

Gravel seems to be all that everyone is talking about. Gravel rides and races are exploding in popularity. However, most people have a gravel bike as their second or third bike. Outfitting that bike with carbon wheels is not for everybody, and having a price-attractive, high performing alloy wheelset is a much needed product.

If your rides ends covered in mud and dirt, and a giant smile on your face, the CCC is your perfect compliment to ride into the heart of adventure.

Gravel rides and equipment are all the rage. With the Pinnacle Hookless. Boyd Cycling proudly is at the front of the Gravel Revolution. A 700c Carbon Wheel, The Pinnacle Hookless is competition ready, designed ideally for gravel and cyclocross tires between 32-40mm in width. This is designed to be a stiff and responsive wheelset. Because the Pinnacle is a disc-specific wheel, we’ve been able to shed a few grams at the rim itself, reducing rotating mass without compromising safety, and the wheel’s unique 2.8mm offset amplifies spoke balance under heavy load.

MAX PSI of 65PSI

Ideal for gravel rides and road racing, the Pinnacle Hookless is a purpose-built, low pressure wheel set for all of your perfect rock path and 50/50 gravel adventure. Take the wheel for a ride straight from your door to the woods, Bikepacking weekends, and your local gravel events. 

The Pinnacle Hookless is The perfect no-compromise wheel for the tubeless cyclocross, gravel, and high volume tubeless road tires! If you have a single bike to do it all, and do not have the room to run the fat tire from the 650B, this is your best choice. The perfect no-compromise wheel for the tubeless cyclocross, gravel, and high volume tubeless road tires!

This is for the Boost version. To run this version you need a Boost spaced MTB fork. Your standard gravel or cyclocross fork will NOT work with a Boost hub.

The Ultra-light carbon XC wheel that pulls double duty as a nimble gravel wheel.

With a modern internal width of 26mm, this hookless rim mates perfectly with fast rolling cross-country tires ranging from 2.1” to 2.4”. At the center of the wheel are the Quest Disc MTB hubs (120 grams for the front and 245 grams for the rear) with their super quick five-degree engagement, tool free service and centerlock spline for disc brake rotors.

Pillar Wing 20 J-Bend spokes and alloy nipples are laced double-cross with 24 spoke front and 28 spoke rear. The ultra-light, yet durable, 370-gram rim (370 gram/29er; 340 gram/27.5) measures 26mm internal, featuring a 2.8mm offset rim bed for better tension balance and a more responsive wheel build.

These specs total up to a 1380-gram (1380 gram/29er, 1330 gram/27.5) wheelset that has a modern day wider rim design and can handle the rigors of cross country mountain bike riding.

For more extreme terrain, the 30mm Ridgeline Enduro wheels are a perfect pick.

Cross Country mountain bikers will lust after the nimble, yet durable wheelset. If your events have you looking for a weight advantage while still riding off the pavement, the Trailblazer is the option for you.

The rim is strong enough to be ridden on mountain bike trails, gravel roads, and for cyclocross. Due to the fact, however, that most current mountain bikes and gravel bikes having different dropout width standards, the Trailblazer wheels will be most often used as a mountain bike wheel with Boost spacing and a gravel or cyclocross wheel with standard 100mm front and 142mm rear spacing.

This page shows the Trailblazer in BOOST spacing, so this will be for MTB use!

 Your mountain bike races are won on the uphills, not a timed segment downhill. Going lighter without sacrificing rim width and durability is key to better performance.  You are already gaining weight with a larger tire, offset that with a lighter wheel!
