20mm Depth Light Bicycle Rims Road Tubular Racing Rims

Product Description

Light bicycle carbon rims 20mm depth 23mm wide road tubular racing rims

1. A tubular is much easier and faster to mount on a rim

The tubular tires have lower rolling resistance due to a higher inflation limit . They often have a higher tread count and can wear extremely well and ride better than a standard clincher . Some claim it is faster and easier to change a tubular than a clincher and you get fewer flats because you do not get pinch flats .

2. Lighter and cheaper

The weight of carbon tubular wheels are lighter and its price is cheaper . A lighter wheel will accelerate faster and will be much easier to ride up hills.

Climbing wheels are built extra light because when the grade becomes steep, the bicycle slows and then accelerates slightly between each pedal stroke. The extra energy that this pulsing motion eats up can be considerable, so reducing the mass of the wheels—especially the rims and tires—can save a lot more energy than removing considerably more mass from the bicycle or rider.

3. Good option for front wheel rim

Consist of primarily climbing and weight is more important than aerodynamics, select this wheel. It's also a good front wheel choice for lighter athletes (male and female) who have a hard time handling a bike in strong cross winds.

Advantage of carbon wheels

Aerodynamic benefits

The biggest appeal of upgrading to a carbon fibre wheel is the aerodynamic advantage over a box section aluminium rim. There is plenty of wind tunnel data (if you want to believe it) from the leading manufacturers showing that carbon wheels reduce drag significantly. If you’re racing, whether against the clock in a time trial, or in a road race, carbon deep section wheels will make a noticeable difference at higher speeds.

Lightweight

Building a deep section rim in aluminium would result in a very heavy wheel. Carbon is simply much lighter and is the reason it's the material of choice for aero wheels. The lightest carbon fibre wheels have tubular rims, and can be exceptionally light: Lightweight does a set that are 940g for the pair! If you’re a climber and want your bike to be as light as possible, carbon fibre tubulars are the way to go, provided you’re happy to glue your tyres to the rims. The stiffness to weight ratio is also better than aluminium wheels.

Ride quality and performance.

Good carbon fibre wheels can transform the ride of a bike. Stiffness is greater than an aluminium wheelset so for powerful riders, sprinting and out-of-the-saddle climbing, this attribute can make a clear difference to how the bike feels, with a more responsive nature. Some carbon fibre wheels also provide a smoother ride over rough road surfaces as well.

They look cool

Don't underestimate how important this is. You’ve got to admit, there’s just something undeniably appealing about the way a sleek road bike looks when rolling on a pair of deep section carbon wheels. While many might not admit it, many invest in carbon wheels mainly because of the appearance.
