Some deep section wheels feature a carbon fairing placed over an aluminum rim.
Deep section carbon wheels.
As my buddy chuck likes to say i don t know everything there is to know about cycling.
The difference between basic training wheels and the best of this group can be as.
These are heavier but are cheaper than a complete carbon rim owing to lower manufacturing and development costs.
Deep section rims are built from carbon fiber because aluminum rims of equivalent height would be very heavy and could not be rolled into a circle without wrinkling.
Let s make a few things clear here.
Most deep carbon rims are.
And therein lies the rub.
In spite of their shallow rim roval says the profile is even more aero than the previous deeper section clx 40.
Deep section carbon fiber wheels are no faster than their alloy shallow section counterparts at certain speeds.
Plus due to the fact that deep wheels are almost always of carbon construction they tend to be much more expensive than a traditional.
