I received a Aksium wheel set from a customer.
The Aksium Pro Exalith model features
an Aksium K10-type rim with the sides of its faceted profile machined smooth,
and the rear wheel uses a full aluminum spoke configuration.
When SL is added to the name, you get the Aksium 125-type rim—a sleeker, even lighter profile—
and the rear wheel switches to a semi-carbon spoke configuration shared with the R-SYS SLR.
This one is the latter version.
Both front and rear wheels had their wheel centers so far out of true
that the centerline gauge rattled like some kind of musical instrument.
The rear wheel had the typical R-SYS-series drift toward the non-freehub side,
so I trued the center using only increased tension on the freehub side without removing the spoke wrench on the opposite side.
