28mm deep super wide carbon wheels for disc brake road and gravel bikes using 30mm or wider tyres. Handbuilt in the UK by a professional wheelbuilder rather than by a machine.
Rims are disc specific 38mm deep with a 24mm internal width. Manufactured for us by Carbonal using100% Mitsubishi Toray carbon fibre all the way through. The core is 3k carbon weave and the rims have a UD (plain matt black) outer layer. The rims are designed for modern wide tyres from 30mm and wider. The increased width gives a bigger contact area for the tyre on the road, improves the aero performance by being the same width as the now common 30mm tyre size and improves ride quality.
The rims are 24mm internal width and hookless. They MUST be used with tubeless type tyres. A tube can be fitted if desired but the tyre itself must be a TL or TLR type. Max recommended tyre pressure 70psi.
Suitable for road/gravel/CX tyres 30mm and wider.
Choice of 24/24 or 28/28 spokes. As a general guide 24 spokes is fine for system weights up to around 85-90kg and 28 spokes for system weights 90kg-105kg
The spokes are super high quality Belgian made Sapim CX Ray bladed spokes in black fastened by either silver or black Sapim 14mm alloy nipples. CX Ray spokes are among the lightest spokes available but have great strength and aero properties. Unfortunately they are also rather expensive!
Cheaper wheelsets built in the Far East generally use much cheaper and less efficient spokes.
The wheels are built using a 2x/2x pattern for strength and reliable power transmission.
Total wheelset weight of the set pictured is around 1440g
