Carbon Road Bike Rear Wheel

The earlier review of the Corima Viva "S" tubular wheelset by Jim Weaver provided a nice overview of Corima as a company and some of the qualities and characteristics that apply to their entire wheel line. https://www.carbonbicycleonline.com
The wheels for road bieke has a 47mm deep, 22.6 mm wide rim made from pre-impregnated ("prepreg") carbon fiber. The front wheel has 18 Sapim CX Ray spokes and the rear is built with 20 spokes. The 12 drive side spokes are 3-crossed, while the 8 non-drive spokes are radially laced. This pattern provides excellent power transmission and lateral rigidity while minimizing weight. The 3k carbon hubs are easy to service exhibit very low friction, and are beautifully made.
I have been riding the wheel road bike since early spring and my first impression was how smooth they are. Granted, the wheels are shod with Continental GP 4000S 25c tires… Nevertheless, it was immediately apparent how "quiet" the wheels themselves ride. wheelset for road bike Not only do they make little noise when rolling over rough surfaces, they simply make bad road surfaces that you would feel on most other wheels disappear.
single speed road bike When it comes to side winds, this spring gave me plenty of chances to test things as it was pretty windy in Vermont. While I could tell I was on a deep section wheel, they handled gusty crosswinds very well – remaining consistent and predictable.
On my first training ride with the Burris Logistics-Fit Werx cycling team it was revealed how fast these wheels are. I was able to simply roll away from my teammates, of similar size, on the descents.
While not superlight at 1560 grams, the weight is very competitive with other carbon clinchers of similar depth and price. bicycle wheel The wheels climb very well and feel stiffer laterally and more responsive under load than several other carbon wheels I have ridden. https://carbonbicycleonline.com A recent uphill time trial revealed no time penalty due to weight as I was faster on the Corima's than on a previous try on wheels weighing less.
