If you’ve been hunting for an all-silver 700c road rim brake wheel set, then you’ve just struck gold! Or silver really. The Sta-Tru Wheels Road rim is a perfect fit for a ton of riders, in that it doesn’t do any one thing superbly, but does a lot of things really well.
Take, for instance, the rim’s tapered profile (20.3mm tall, 22mm wide with a 17mm inner), which emphasizes aero and strength. The rim weight comes in at 525g, which some might say is too heavy. But the reality is that many road rims scratch 500g without breaking a sweat. I’d say a close competitor would be the Mavic CXP22, which comes in at 505-510g, for example. Also keep in mind that the real gem about this rim is its inner width. The 17mm inner width means that you’ll be able to run a huge range of tires. Interestingly, the rim decal says 622×16. I measured the inner width with our caliper, and found it to be 17mm, spot on.
If you’re thinking, “but they’re not tubeless….” It’s true, these are not road tubeless; you’ll need to run a road clincher tire + inner tube with this rim. If you are looking for tubeless options, check out Bicycle Wheel Warehouse.
I will note that the CNC sidewall on these rims is finished to a razor’s edge; they’re sharp, in a way that pleases the mind when you gently run your fingers over the CNC’s edge as it transitions to the rest of the rim. These are great rims; they’re silver, and they’ll work. What more can you ask for?

At I Know A Guy Bicycles, our “Trusted Partners” are more than just brands—they are vetted small businesses that represent the heart and soul of the cycling industry. These wheels will ship out of our California warehouse.
I choose to partner with people who take immense pride in their craftsmanship and who live by the same rule my dad taught me back in his shop: “If you can’t do it right, don’t do it at all.” In a world of mass-produced, “good enough” gear, these partners are true gems. They prioritize quality and longevity over quick sales, ensuring that when I recommend a product to you, it’s a product I’d trust on my own family’s bikes.

Bicycle Wheel Warehouse is designed to offer a new dimension in the online market for enthusiast riders, aiming to meet cyclists’ need for high-quality wheels at affordable prices. We specialize in offering wheels with sensible component specifications, rather than wheels assembled from miscellaneous parts.
Our wheels differ from many other wheels available online. All of our wheels are 100% custom-built in-house, checked, and rechecked for proper spoke tension and wheel trueness. Compare our wheels with those offered by other websites that often purchase wheels and parts at close-out auctions from overseas factories and repackage them for sale in the U.S. as quality products.
