FAQs
Is this wheelset tubeless?
Yes — it’s tubeless ready. You can run it as clincher with tubes or set it up tubeless with the correct tape, valves, and sealant.
What tyre widths work best?
Recommended range is 23mm–43mm. For most road riders, 25–28mm tyres are the natural match with a 21mm internal rim for a stable profile and predictable handling.
What does TG 250°C mean?
TG is the glass transition temperature of the resin system used in the rim. A 250°C rating indicates a high heat tolerance at the brake track, helping the rim maintain structural integrity under sustained braking heat.
Are the hubs easy to service?
Yes. The hubs use standard bearing sizes (listed above), which can be sourced through us or any bike shop. No proprietary bearing lock-in.
What freehub bodies are available?
Options include: Campagnolo N3W (13-speed), Campagnolo 9/10/11/12, Shimano 11/12, SRAM 11, and SRAM XDR.
Is this suitable for heavier riders?
The wheelset is rated to a 120kg total system weight (rider + bike + kit).
What’s included / anything I need to know for setup?
It’s a standard rim brake, quick-release wheelset. For best results, use quality rim brake pads matched to carbon brake tracks and set up tubeless with proper tape/valves if going tubeless.
