Reserve Wheels is proud to partner with German hub manufacturer Tune for a limited run of high-performance, high-speed wheelsets. Laced exclusively to Reserve's SL Turbulent Aero rims, Tune Pico hubs are a brand-new addition to the Tune hub lineup that are purpose-built for Reserve rims, and use straight-pull, bladed carbon spokes. 

The dedicated hub design and perfect alignment mean that the carbon spokes don’t need to bend or twist between the hub and the rim, creating a stiffer, stronger wheel. On the road, this gives you a more planted feel with exceptional energy transfer for sprints and breakaways. Reduced stress at the spoke nipple, and optimized load distribution ensure long-term durability.

Pico hub axles are hard anodized and the freehub body can be upgraded from 69 to 138 points of engagement (5.2 and 2.6 degrees of engagement, respectively). They are machined from 7075-T6 alloy and weigh 275g per set, including the driver body and rotor lockrings. 

Lose every possible gram of weight, without losing any of the strength or reliability that Reserve is known for. Carbon spokes, lifetime warranty, no-fault crash replacement and no restrictions on rider weight or tire choice. This is your ultimate all-around wheelset. 

Fast enough for Simon Yates to take a stage ten win at the 2025 Tour de France and strong enough to charge the Paris-Roubaix. 

FEATURES:

  • The Wheel for Race Day, Everyday: From your lunch ride to Pauline Ferrand Prevost’s Tour winning efforts, this wheelset is the silver bullet. 42|49 is light enough to climb and gives you just enough depth to cut through wind without giving up control.
  • Lighter & Stronger: Built to be as light as possible—without trading away strength, stiffness, or durability. Carbon spokes, purpose-built hubs, and an advanced SL rim layup work together as a system. Less weight. No shortcuts. Pure performance.
  • Turbulent Aero: Reserve’s aerodynamic protocol uses real-world wind data to develop wheels that are both faster and more stable on the road, not just the wind tunnel. More speed. More control. Turbulent Aero.
  • Built for a Lifetime: All Reserve wheels are built around a simple principle: we have your back. That means no rider weight limits, an industry-leading Lifetime Warranty, safe semi-hooked rim designs and comprehensive customer service.

Beautiful, but doesn’t last
Color: 9910: All black
It’s beautiful, but does not last. Purchased as a gift for my husband and it stopped working altogether and wasn’t able to be wound after a few weeks. We returned it. He really missed having it so we ordered a new one, hoping to have better luck. This one lasted a few months but the needle for then”Day of the week” has since fallen off today. Very disappointing.

Compared to g-shock?
Color: Black/Yellow
Firstly random public reviews can be comical…”it’s has a battery, terrible, One star” or “I don’t like yellow, one star” omg peoples do better. I’ll review this while comparing to an older style of g-shock from the same era. I’ll start by saying this timex rocks, for me in my mid 50’s it’s so retro and nastalgic, brings back memories, I may have even owned this model back in the day. What’s great about it- the display, larger digits than the typical g-shock and they are super crisp, clear and easy to read. The indiglo is awesome. This is the most accurate quartz watch I have aside from the atomic g-shocks that adjust themselves daily. I prefer a chunky watch and the g-shocks do a better job in that department. i feel this watch is rugged, but I’d still give the nod to g-shock in this department. 200M water resistance is the gold standard and this watch has it which I love for peace of mind for any water based activities. This is a 5 star watch at a great price. I still love some aspects of a g-shock better but its just preference.

Everybody loved the high-tech style and amazing functionality
Color: Black/Yellow
I'm not a Timex fanboy, and I've had my fair share of problems with the Expedition line, so this review is my honest opinion as a man who's worn Armitrons and Timexes since I was 10. I remember in 1992 when the Timex Ironman Triathlon with Indiglo was first launched - My older brother got one, then me and my neighbor friends. Everybody loved the high-tech style and amazing functionality. Even Bill Clinton was rock'n this watch, for those who don't remember. Quite simply, this is the perfect watch at a great price, in my opinion. Perfect as a gift for any man, and I think the original black/olive drab/yellow coloration is still the coolest. In this day and age of smartphones, it still pays to have this watch. The alarm is less annoying sounding than a cellphone, and doesn't wake up the entire house. To turn it off, just tap the watch, no more reaching for the phone or alarm clock. Timer comes in handy for anything; timing my kids' timeouts when they get in trouble, 15 minutes room clean-up times, etc. Chrono is fun for anything you wanna use a stop-watch for. I set the second time zone for Vietnam time. It really is a million times easier to use this watch for all of its functions than reaching for a smartphone or alarm clock, etc. If you;ve been relying on your phone for a few years as a watch/chronograph/timer/alarm - you'll be so glad you finally got a watch like this. I've never tried a smart-watch, however I feel those are not as necessary,durable or practical as a real watch. Other Timex watches I've used were freakin' trash - couldn't throw em away fast enough. Might as well open the box while holding it over a trash can, so the watch can fall right in when you open the box. That's my experience with the Expedition line-up. Back to this watch: The only thing I wish this watch could do is measure activity thermogenesis (calories expended throught the day) or work as a pedometer, which some smart-watches and other devices can do. I also cannott decide if I like this new, slightly larger, heavier/thicker design of the Ironman Triathlon over the 1990s design. The 90s models styling was "tight to death'. Star-split buttons were seperated. The mode button was yellow. Overall more compact and bi-cultural;by that I mean it looked great as an athletic watch or a politician, business man wathc. This new model is bigger, better ingress/shock resistance, and more of an athletic style over all, and is a little less colorful. I almost went with the G-shocks, but they still just look like crap and are waay to expensive. Sure, they have some better features, can survive WWIII, but I am a traveler. I need a watch that can work in the dark in any environment. The G-shocks are often using some kind of solar battery crap and rely on cathing a signal from an American automic clock in Colorado - good luck with that while your in Thailand on vacation.
