Clincher Wheelset Reviews

Mavic R-SYS Clincher Wheelset

bikewheels — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 11:19:21 +0000

The Mavic R-SYS Clincher wheels utilize some special technology which helps to make them as stiff and light as possible. This is the patented Tracomp Technology from Mavic, and it's at the forefront of what they are doing with these clinchers. In fact, the Mavic R-SYS Clincher is the first of their wheels to include these breakthrough innovations.

The Tracomp Technology is all about utilizing light, carefully selected and designed materials, while improving aerodynamics, increasing stiffness and providing a range of other benefits as well. The light carbon spokes used are 38% lighter than stainless counterparts, and they are also reinforced to make them more sturdy and durable.

The Mavic R-Sys wheels are made from tubular carbon, which makes them uncompressible and unstretchable. The spokes are then actually clamped onto the hub, with the Tracomp ring. A lighter hub and rim reduce stress and weight with no downside to stiffness or stability.

With a light total weight and stiff characteristics, aerodynamics are improved as well helping you glide through when you're riding in a peloton, climbing up a hill and more. This makes the R-SYS clincher wheelset perfect for competition and other high performance situations.

Plus, the wheels are fantastic to look at, featuring black rims and spokes, red hubs and rim decals and the black and red Tracomp spokes ends. You'll be creating plenty of envy with these from both your performance and your style as you get the job done.

As you can see, there are a variety of innovations and components that work together for the Mavic R-SYS Clincher in order to provide you with increased performance and stiffness, with a wheel that's light but sturdy enough to survive typical wear and tear. Tracomp Technology includes many different pieces and with the Mavic R-SYS they get put into action beautifully in a way any rider can appreciate.

Fulcrum Racing 1

bikewheels — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 08:15:11 +0000

The Fulcrum Racing 1 clincher wheelset is a favorite amongst many racers and daily riders, and it provides a perfect combination of speed and durability. You'll give yourself a real boost and a serious edge on the competition when you switch to these and the differences will be noticed immediately. Come see the many features that have made these wheels a surefire choice.

The Fulcrum Racing 1 wheels of course include the 2:1 Fulcrum spoking pattern and design, which features double the number of spokes for the cassette side. What this means is that you have two spokes transferring your energy when there would normally be just one, which reduces the inherent slack and loss of tension caused by rotational force.

The hubs are oversized and made from aluminum. Even more smoothness is provided in part by the ball
bearings which are used, which are superior to what the competition offers and provides consistent smoothness for every ride. The rims are made from aluminum as well and are designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. They feature a differentiated front and rear profile to impart aerodynamics and help you make the most out of the energy you use.

You'll also love the stability and smoothness provided through the Dynamic Balance system. The weight of the joint on the rims is counterbalanced, which ensures that no matter how fast you're going, you are in full control with perfect, balanced rotational dynamics. Don't forget that the Fulcrum Racing 1 clinchers work with a variety of Campagnolo, Shimano and Sram drivetrains, ensuring that as many people as possible can use them without hassle.

When you take your riding and your racing seriously then you need the best gear to help produce results. The many features of the Fulcrum Racing 1 clincher will provide a real boost and you'll enjoy an easier, smoother and more balanced ride that gives you that added edge you need.

Bontrager Race X Lite

bikewheels — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 08:12:02 +0000

The Bontrager Race X Lite clincher wheelset is widely used and is respected for its strength and durability. They are designed with many features and components that help to ensure their quality, and they are a great fit for all kinds of riders. The wheels have been redesigned to correct on some old flaws, so you'll find that they are actually better than they ever have been.

Scandium alloy rims help to increase durability and provide great stiffness and a superior ride quality. This improves upon a concern with previous models of this wheelset which sometimes suffered from cracked rims. The added strength along with other new design features and the usage of only the finest and strongest materials makes this a clincher wheelset that will hold up to the harshest of tests.

The improved rims are teamed up with forged alloy hubs that increase lateral wheel stiffness with carefully tested and optimized flange location. An alternating spoke lacing pattern is used with this clincher wheelset. This makes them lighter than ever before, and it also makes the wheels more aerodynamic as well.

A great benefit with this clincher wheelset is that you won't need any special tools to service the hub, which features an easily removable body. This adds further value to these already highly capable wheels.

These wheels come at a very reasonable price, making for a fantastic value considering all of their great advantages and technological strengths. They are lighter and more durable than ever before – in fact they weigh about 190 grams less than Race Lite wheels - and they provide a strong, sturdy and stiff ride that's as easy as you could imagine. You'll really notice the difference and the upgrade when you switch to Bontrager Race X Lite wheels.

Reynolds DV46UL

bikewheels — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:37:38 +0000

Reynolds DV46UL - Durable and Tough

When looking for durability in a set of wheels for a road bike, it's reassuring to know that Reynolds DV46UL clincher wheel sets are the favorites of avid road cyclists. The reason is the comfortable ride and good balance of weight. In addition, the acceleration with these wheels is smooth, yet lightening fast. Speed is important for competitive road cyclists. There's no compromise when it comes to speed dynamics. The difference between these wheel sets is the price. Though slightly less costly than some of the pricier lightweights available, there's no sacrifice when it comes to quality.

Reynolds Wheelsets- Made To Last

Reynolds DV46UL clincher wheel sets are made to last. Should damage occur, unlike some of the lighter weight models of wheel sets, these can easily be repaired. This makes potholes and road defects less of a problem with these wheels. The ride remains smooth even when the surface isn't always so. Cyclists looking for comfort without sacrificing price or durability find these wheel sets to be well within their range of affordability. One other aspect of these wheel sets is their flexibility as compared to those of lightweights which can be stiff.

Reynolds DV46UL Turn Corners With Ease

With these wheels, motion is steady and it's easier to turn corners without sacrificing speed. These wheels fairly glide into turns and make safety less of a concern. This may be due to the high-modulus composite in the rims. So they give state-of-the-art design as well as aerodynamic performance. In addition these wheel sets show remarkable long-wear under most road conditions.

Reynolds DV46UL Protection Plan

One really nice feature of these wheels when purchased is the Reynolds Assurance protection plan that is available at the time of sale. This inspires further confidence in this particular brand. These wheels are checked before they are shipped to their customers as part of a final inspection.

Bontrager Aeolus 6.5

bikewheels — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 09:34:47 +0000

Bontrager Aeolus 6.5 wheelsets are the ultimate in cycling wheels. Designed in conjunction with Steve Hed they feature a carbon aero skin bonded to a low spoke carbon clincher rim. The three most often used words to describe them are strong, lightweight and fast, with the accent on "fast" for cyclists who appreciate comprehensive speed.

Bontrager Aeolus wheelsets are intended for precision cyclists with the mastery to be in control of their stops and braking. As with all other wheel sets before a planned cycling session, be aware of road conditions. The most expert cyclists encounter difficulties with high-powered wheel sets when road conditions prove challenging.

The Advantages of Bontrager Aeolus 6.5 Wheelsets

For cyclists who generally prefer cycling straight roads, Bontrager Aeolus 6.5 wheelsets are ideal. Because they are lightweight, there may be minimal adjustment of cycling posture to compensate for speed and motion. This is similar to any ergonomically designed equipment. The Bontrager Aeolus 6.5 wheels assure an aerodynamically positive experience. The clincher wheels make the ride smooth under normal road circumstances. However, one caution is that wheelsets intended for high speed are not recommended for damp roadways. This is true with most types of cycling wheelsets. Coupled with the cycle's design, adding power wheels can alter slightly the resulting difficulties with stopping or where there is a sudden need to brake. It's a good idea to consider this in the normal range of cycling habits.

Bontrager Aeolus Wheel Pressure

When it comes to wheel pressure, the Bontrager Aeolus 6.5 has been thoroughly tested and the results showed an exceedingly durable construction. This is important for cyclists who want the security of long-wearing wheels. This testing is also a good indication of the detail and attention to quality. For those who prize wheel sets that retain speed and manage well in winds, these are the top choice of cyclists. They're great for racing or for regular cycling and they've enjoyed above-average ratings by avid cyclists.

Easton EC70SL Clincher Wheelset Review

bikewheels — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 16:20:17 +0000

With the EC70SL wheelset, Easton has come up with yet another amazing and versatile clincher wheelset combining the benefits of the weight and stiffness of a carbon rim coupled with the durability and convenience of an aluminum clincher. A first look at the Easton EC70SL wheel will compel you to admire its beauty. Since it is hand built from scratch, the clincher wheelset comes packed with an incredible sturdiness; balance and superior ride quality that will make you go faster.

Easton EC70SL Technical Specifications

Weight: 1800g
Height: 38mm
Spokes: 24 front and 28 rear spokes of 2.0/1.7/2.0 stainless steel silver
Clinches: Gen 4 Easton carbon/aluminum hybrid clinches
Nipples: External Nickel – plated brass rear drive side
Bearings: Precision sealed cartridge with asymmetrical low drag seals
Brake surface: Machine welded
Body: Alloy Cassette, oversized inboard ratchet mechanism with three pawls.
Bearings: Precision sealed cartridge bearings with asymmetrical low drag seals.
Hubs: C3 series hubs in black anodized finish
Compatibility: Shimano, Campagnolo and SRAM, 8/9/10 speed compatible.
Finishing: The non – drive side has black anodized aluminum in the rear and front.

Surprisingly, the EC70SL soaks up road vibrations very well without making you lose the feel of the ride. The slightly heavier wheels with 100% hand crafted hubs, rims and nipples offer more balance and stability. The Easton skewers have a long throw and the high tension on spokes makes the wheel more responsive to power and quick acceleration. One drawback is the absence of a cassette lock ring and a wheel bag to protect these carbon wheels.

Strengths: Solid built carbon-aluminum clincher wheel at an economical and competitive price accompanied with a warranty backed up with good customer service.

Weaknesses: Absence of a wheel bag and its comparatively heavier build may make you think twice before purchasing this wheelset especially ifthere is no local wheel repair facility available.

Final Verdict: The Easton EC70SL clincher wheelset is recommended for well built athletes who do not like to compromise on quality.
