Small order of Carbon Full Disc wheels coming to CB headquarters

[vosadrian]

@Don1 , I emailed them. Will see what happens. I've also ordered some Aliexpress cheap carbon sheeting to fill the rear triangle etc. Would be great to get CdA a little lower for 43-44kph at around 200W.

Cool. They were good for me. Hope for you too. Can I have the link for the sheets?

My 80s look great, pretty solid and have a modern cross section and if I don't ride like a sook doesn't bother me in heavy winds trucks etc. Here are disc wheels: http://www.carbonbikekits.com/700c-25mm-wide-disc-wheel-clincher-tubular.

I recommend email them ask em what u want. Anyways, Maria has some amazing disc disc wheels for sale

The hub options include spoke type. Are these spoked wheels with a carbon cover?

These should fit 23/25 and maybe 28's but don't quote me on the 28's for fit - as I haven't seen the wheels personally.

Were you able to check the actual outer rim width?

Does anyone know of a source for a disc wheel >25mm outside width?

The HED Vanquish RCD Pro Disc is 21mm wide internal so it should be close to 25mm external. Optimized for 28mm tires.

I got some of the 400X500 (2 sheets): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814767894.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.77e418025rAyO7

Not cheap, and there are cheaper/lighter materials up to the task, but should match other carbon on my V20.

Planning to cover the rear triangle and probably from the rear wheel axle up to the bottom of my (custom) rear box. So would effectively cover the front/top quadrant of the rear wheel. I am no aero expert, but hoping that this can slow the air going over the spoked part of the wheel on the top half. Maybe it can clean up the vortices from my body also? Not sure if it will work with access to rear rim brake caliper.

I think they have copy pasted other wheels they sell, so it has all the same info, but they do look like a full carbon wheel.... not a covered spoke wheel. I will email and ask them.

Please consider ordering a batch of tubeless-compatible front carbon rim brake disc wheels for all us v20 owners out there too. I’d buy one!
