Product Information

Full details

The Specialized Roval Alpinist CL II 700c is a high-performance, lightweight clincher wheelset designed for road cyclists who prioritize climbing efficiency and responsive handling. By utilizing the same high-end rim technology as the premium CLX II model paired with reliable DT Swiss 350 hubs, it offers an exceptional balance of weight and durability, though it requires a tubeless-ready setup for maximum performance benefit.

FAQs

What is the weight limit for these wheels?

While Specialized does not publish a strict rider weight limit, these wheels are designed for standard road cycling use and competitive performance.

Are these wheels compatible with tubeless tires?

Yes, they are optimized for tubeless use and feature a hooked rim profile for secure tire retention.

Can I run standard inner tubes?

Yes, the hooked rim design is fully compatible with traditional clincher tires and inner tubes.

What is the warranty coverage?

The wheels include a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects and a 2-year no-fault crash replacement policy.

What tire pressure should I run?

The rims are rated for pressures up to 110psi; however, you should always follow the pressure recommendations provided by your specific tire manufacturer.

What comes in the box?

The wheels ship with Roval rim tape pre-installed and a spare spoke kit.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating tubeless tires

Ensure the rim tape is properly seated without air bubbles and use a booster pump to provide the necessary burst of air to seat the beads.

Freehub engagement feels sluggish

Remove the freehub body and clean the Star Ratchet components, then apply a thin layer of DT Swiss special grease to the teeth.

Wheel out of true

Since these are hand-built with standard spokes, consult a professional mechanic to adjust tension using a truing stand.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Alpinist CL II is designed to be user-friendly with a traditional hooked rim that accepts most clincher and tubeless tires. Ensure the provided Roval rim tape is applied correctly to create an airtight seal for tubeless setups. For routine maintenance, the DT Swiss Star Ratchet system can be serviced without specialized tools, making it easy to clean and grease the internals periodically. Keep the wheels clean using mild soap and water, and avoid high-pressure wash systems that could force grit into the hub bearings. Periodically check spoke tension and inspect the rim surface for any debris or wear.
