HED Ardennes

[Gonzoburger]

Does anyone have experience with the HED Ardennes, or other HED wheels with 23 mm rims? Can you ride tires smaller than 23s? Can you ride tubular clinchers?

I was looking into these wheels as well and would like to know if they are built with propietary parts. I can't tell from the website if you could use a standard exterior nipple construction, it looks like they are hidden in the pictures.

Can you ride tires smaller than 23s?

Yes, but not recommended.

Can you ride tubular clinchers?

Yes, but they suck.

Hidden hex nips, not standard.
