Rolf Carbon TDF38 Clincher Wheelset 700c (Free Shipping) New for 2007. The popular lightweight, aerdynamic and stiff Carbon TdF38 wheel system is now available with the added convenience and toughness of an alloy-clincher brake track. Model: Carbon TdF38 Clincher Wheel size: 700c Category: Aerodynamic Spoke count: Bladed 14F/16R Rim: Clincher Hubs: Campagnolo and Shimano compatible Weight: 1680g set (726g/954g)
Hubset: Carbon TdF38-Clincher wheel systems orbit around a proprietary hub designed and manufactured in the USA. The front hub features a unique 80mm wide flange placement which increases lateral wheel stiffness by nearly 20%. Patented Differential Flange Diameter on the rear hub lends a mechanical advantage effectively doubling the number of functional pulling spokes; increasing wheel durability. Black, CNC machined hub shells with oversized axles provide high strength, stiffness and light weight. Optimized flange contours provide full spoke elbow support, increasing spoke life. Hubs also feature precision cartridge bearings with low drag supplementary contact seals and bearing preload adjustment on both front and rear hub shells. freehub mechanism: CNC machined Titanium freehub body has 3 sprung steel pawls for a bomb-proof torque transfer system. Pawls are driven by 3 hardened steel leaf springs. The system is strong, simple and dependable. Rims: At 570 grams, this proprietary, deep-section carbon fiber rim is light and stiff. The 38mm tall carbon fiber rim offers superior lateral and torsional stiffness. The alloy clincher brake sidewall is bonded to the carbon rim to improve braking performance and impact durability. The combination of low spoke count, exceptional aerodynamic performance and minimal rotating weight makes the Carbon TdF38 clincher wheel system the ideal choice for riders who want to use their carbon wheels for more than race day. Spoke & nipple: Black custom bladed, 14 gauge spokes and internal alloy nipples with nylon inserts contribute to clean aerodynamic performance and superior, long-term durability. Patented, Jacketed Nipple Design and Dish Reducing design reduce spoke bending loads and rear wheel dish to increase spoke fatigue life. Extras: Rolf Prima Carbon TdF38 clincher wheel systems include alloy valve extenders and titanium quick release skewers (89g / set).
