Hi all,
can anyone help ID this disc wheel. 10 speed free hub. Clincher with alloy brake track. Slightly lenticular shape (i.e. not flat sided). Round valve hole.

Was initially going to suggest a Renn disc, but their valve hole is oval.

So could be destickered Shimano Pro wheel? What does the other side of the hub look like?

It seems like an alloy free hub body. (looking at the gauging on the splines) that is not something that would have happened on shimano. They use steel bodies.

Could it be a Planet X?

It's got a round valve hole, the colour of the freehub looks similar and it also appears to have a hex nut on the end of the axle, like the disc that you've posted.

They did a clincher too. I just couldn't find a picture that lets you see the hub.

Jooo that looks more plausible. Free hub is def alloy (so not PRO disc which I understand uses Ti free hub body)
Leads me to my next question...is a Campagnolo free hub available? (new TT bike is 11 speed)

If you own the wheel, take some better pictures of the hub and send them to Planet X. It sounds like they've got some decent customer service so they can probably help you out. It doesn't look like they sell the disc any more, but maybe they still have some parts left for them :noidea:

It could be a PX, but don't expect any help from them. Customer service is nonexistant, unless its selling you something they have in stock.

As Jooo says, pull the freehub off.
You'l probably find it's a joytech or KT
