In this video, I take you through my DIY installation of the Hunt 50 Carbon Aero Disc Wheelset on my Trek Domane AL 3 (Gen 3). This upgrade was a thrilling project, and I opted for a tubed setup rather than going tubeless. Watch as I share my experience installing these wheels for the first time as an amateur!
Items Used in This Upgrade:
• Wheels: Hunt 50 Carbon Aero Disc Wheelset
• Tires: Vittoria Corsa Pro Control G2 TLR 700x32 (Para-Zwart)
• Brakes: Shimano RT-MT800 XT Centerlock Ice-Tech Freeza Rotors, 160mm (2x)
• Chain: Shimano CN-HG53 LX/Tiagra 9-Speed, 116 Links
• BBB ValveExtend BTI-99 Valve Extenders
This bike is a smooth-riding road bike, excelling on long tours, group rides, and even light gravel paths thanks to its lightweight frame and vibration-damping carbon fork. Join me as I dive into the process, sharing the challenges and excitement of upgrading my bike.

Pro tip - don't touch the rotor surfaces with your hands - the oils on your skin can contaminate them. Gloves, or hold them like an old vinyl record, on the edges.

I'm guilty of this! I need to buy special gloves for maintenance work actually

@PhilJohn1980 2 дня назад

@@sleeklooking you don’t even need special gloves really. A box of 200 nitrile gloves costs less than $10 at the drug store - that’s what I use :)

Nice upgrade, switch to tubeless it’s faster. Been tubeless over a year without a puncture. Previously would get a flat at least once a month.

@sleeklooking 2 дня назад

Yeah I will be doing that too I think next year. I'm not sure if i want to go TPU or tubeless but let's see.

I've got these, been riding them for over a year. Great upgrade, nice and loud as well as durable.

That's good to hear! I even bought crash insurance on them because I'm afraid to break them XD

Great video man. I've just done the same on my AL5!

@sleeklooking 2 дня назад

Thanks! Awh man AL5 Is a nice bike! It must sound much nicer now though!

@KevinCook-u9t 2 дня назад

In regards to mistakes, invest in a torque wrench to prevent loose parts and or snapping components. Also never clamp your bike from the top tube try using the seat post to hold in repair stand.

@sleeklooking 2 дня назад

Owh really? Ive always clamped it on the top tube. Why shouldn't you clamp it from the top tube?

@PhilJohn1980 2 дня назад

@@sleeklookingtop tube is very thin in places, and not designed for clamping. Seat tube is designed to be clamped (because you have to clamp it into the frame for it not to move), and seat posts are a lot thicker. You'll probably be fine as the bike is Aluminium, but it's a DEFINITE "do not ever do this" on a carbon frame.

I got the new hunt 40s on my Emonda alr. Ended up getting the hunt because I purchased the lifetime crash replacement and the new upgraded of wider internal rim.
