Reynolds 2014 Assault Carbon SLG Shimano Road Race Cyclocross Wheels NEW

If you had to choose one wheelset for your road bike, one wheelset for criteriums, for climbing, and for breakaways, you would do well to choose the Reynolds Assault SLG Carbon Clincher Wheelset, which has been updated for 2014. Endowed with an all around profile of 41 millimeters deep by 25 millimeters wide, the Assault SLG is suitable for every situation encountered in a road race. Confidence is the name of the Assault SLG's game. With a wider rim creating a greater contact patch, and SLG technology enhancing cross-wind stability, the Assault will remain stable no matter what you ask of it. SLG, or Swirl Lip Generator, refers to the ridge located near the crown of the rim on either side. This strategically placed lip improves air flow to the tune of a 20% reduction in drag at a yaw angle of ten degrees. In windy conditions, the stabilizing effect of the SLG is even more pronounced. In order move the braking performance of the full carbon Assault closer to that of aluminum brake tracks, CTg, or Cryogenic Glass Transition technology utilizes a detailed lay up of specific carbon/resin layers for optimal heat dissipation. Fully realizing the benefits of this brake track requires the use of Cryo-Blue proprietary brake pads, made of a blend of polymers specifically chosen for the intended application. As the Cryo-Blue pads are an integral part of the CTg system, full potential will not be realized with any other pads, and use of another pad will void any warranty Reynolds extends. When you are paying your own bills, invest in performance and not graphics by going with the Reynolds Assault SLG wheels.
