ROI Cycles hand builds custom boutique wheels from quality components.
If you want wheels with similar performance to the big names but:
1) You do not see why you should pay $100's extra for big flashy decals to advertise a brand that does not sponsor you
2) Maybe you prefer the stealth look anyways
ROI-CTUB-38D-25W Wheelset featuring:
38mm Deep Light Aero Carbon wheels.
The best all-round carbon wheel depth, the first depth that gives a strong mechanical structure for the rim for excellent stiffness, gets a large portion of the maximum potential aero benefits without hardly any weight penalty or side wind sensitivity.
260grams/pair Ultralight Bitex hubset
66 grams RAF10 front hub with 20 front radial spokes.
194 grams RAR9 rear hub with 24 spokes (12 2x DS and 12 radial NDS), uses Bitex patented 6 pawls freehub working in two pairs for 48 engagement points per revolution for quick traction out of turns, and patented anti-bite stainless steel strip on Shimano compatible freehubs so the cassette will not dig into the alloy freehub.
Top Notch Sapim CX-Ray light and aero spokes (0.9mm deep, 2mm wide, 4.3 gram each with 0.4 gram 7075 alloy nipples). Arguably the best spoke in the industry (used by Zipp and other big brands)
38mm rim depth with U-shape aero profile (25mm wide on the edge, 28mm at the widest point)
25mm wide tubular rim bed for optimal profile with wider tubulars (25 to 28mm) for more comfort and more road grip.
High Temperature resin and basalt braking surface. UD fiber rim surface
Avalaible with the three industry freehub standards for the three main types of cassettes: Standard Shimano/SRAM, Campagnolo compatible or SRAM XD.
Please specify on order, if you want something other than the default Shimano compatible freehub.
At 1160 grams per pair in tubular rims, this wheelset will deliver all the high performance enjoyed by the pros.
We highly recommend carbon wheels with tubular rims that offer the lightest weight, the use of high performance tubular tires including the ability to enjoy the low rolling resistance of the latex tubes used in top level tubulars and the rim strength of a tubular box rim structure (without the higher weight and weaker area of the lips found on clincher wheels. )
Our prices include shipping to most locations but as we cannot predict everything, we reserve the right not to ship and give you a full refund or contact you if we encounter unusual shipping costs or conditions for your location.
As bicycle lovers, we are an environmentally and cost-conscious business and routinely use recycled shipping materials to ship brand new products. So if you receive a weird looking package (maybe with a well-known bike brand name) it is only because we recycle packaging. We do not believe you are buying our products to get a nice box nor that more trees should be cut or more oil should be pumped out of the ground for you to get a shiny new box that will most likely become more garbage immediately upon receipt.
As International buyers, you are required to pay all customs charges (if any requested by your local customs authorities).
