Tame the mountains with the Reynolds Thirty Two Clincher Wheelset.
The 32mm profile significantly lowers rotational weight and improves handling in crosswinds compared to deeper designs, while still providing aerodynamics and strength. Reynolds' rim construction is also more advanced than ever, with a full high modulus carbon and refined resin system to ensure uncompromising stiffness and further durability (think cobblestones). A new Ultra Light Carbon Layup yields a laminate with a weight as impressive as its handling performance.
'Swirl Lip Generator' technology has also been incorporated into both rims to reduce pressure and drag, and improve overall handling in crosswinds. By placing a 0.9mm lip on the rim's leading edge, the air flowing around the rim is guided back to reattach to the surface. Basically, the air wants to 'stick' to the rim with an aerodynamic principle similar to that of an aircraft wing. And, as a final innovation, Reynolds has added the CTg brake track for an exceptional improvement in braking performance.
20 spokes front, laced radially. 24 spokes rear, laced 2x on the drive side and radially on the non-drive side. Internal nipples and DT Aerolite bladed spokes shave a few more grams while increasing aerodynamics.
These Reynolds branded hubs are also made by DT Swiss, the industry standard for quality and durability with a smooth rolling, totally serviceable design. Available in Shimano/SRAM 8/9/10. 622 ISO (700c).
Actual weight: 654g Front, 769g Rear (Shimano), 1423g Set (weighed without included QR skewers).
Includes quick release skewers and Cryo Blue Carbon Compound Brake Pads.
