While there may be a linear relationship between increased tire size and increased fun this relationship only holds true when wider tires are paired with the correct width rims. Having a 2.8' or high-volume tire mated to a narrow rim makes for a squirmy poor handling experience and when you’re on the hunt for additional fun these characteristics are undesirable. Lucky for you the new age of traction stability and speed has arrived—and its name is the Traverse 38 SL Fattie 27.5. Along with light overall weight stiffness and durability another top priority for the Traverse SL was ease of use. First off we got rid of the creaky straight-pull spokes and corrosion-prone alloy nipples. Next up we landed on 28 J-bend spokes for front and rear wheels that are all the same length—making it easy to find replacements if needed. And finally we engineered a new hub design with a wider profile and higher flange to aid in overall stiffness. While our 38-millimeter Traverse SL is already wider than most offerings the benefits of three-inch tires become more apparent with a proper rim interface. In search for the proper width our engineers tested various iterations from 30 to 45 millimetres to determine where the sweet spot lies. What they ended up with is a 38-millimeter internal rim width that turns the Traverse 38 SL Fatties into descending machines . A wide internal rim width endows riders with a variety of advantages that are exemplified even more with plus-sized tires. The extra width allows for more tire volume translating into more supple ride qualities and better support for the tire meaning that you'll experience less 'burping' when riding tubeless and a drastic increase in traction. After determining the proper rim width for the plus-sized application we began designing the rim using the same low-weight high-strength technologies used in the Traverse SL and the Control SL. With this we started with our Zero Bead Hook design that effectively eliminates the biggest weak spot found in traditional rims and topped it off by using high-modulus carbon fibre to keep the weight down. And to further this theme the wheels also include the Roval tubeless plug system which sheds an additional 50 grams-per-wheel compared to a rim strip Each Traverse 38 SL Fattie is hand-built to our own alloy hubs with DT Swiss Competition Race spokes. Inside our hubs you'll find sealed cartridge bearings all-around and a quick-engaging 54t DT Swiss star ratchet system in the rear that allows you to power over rocks and roots without delay. And while machines do a decent job of building wheels we choose professionally trained humans to build ours as they catch various flaws that a machine would otherwise miss.

3T Discus C45 Ltd Stealth WheelsetIdeal for riders who want to upgrade their existing road or gravel bike, this wheelset delivers fantastic aerodynamics, strength and comfort on every ride. It features a unidirectional carbon ultralight construction, which allows you to benefit from its incredible strength to weight ratio. Aerodynamically optimised but shallow enough to keep you fully stable in strong crosswinds, these rims are light on climbs, ultra-durable and ensure lasting comfort. If you're likely to encounter poor road surfaces, gravel or even some light single track on weekend adventures, these are the rims for you.With the aerodynamic performance of the very best 60mm deep rims but in a 45mm format, the C45 rims mean that you can roll faster for longer. The wider rim section means that a standard 25mm road tyre sits at 28mm wide - not only ideal for a 3T Strada frameset but saving on weight of wider stock tyres.Remarkably, the aerodynamic properties of the C45 are retained all the way up to 40mm gravel tyres, giving you the flexibility to explore untrammelled tracks and poor surfaces at speed. If you value comfort as well as maintaining peak performance and rolling speed in harsh conditions this is a solid choice.Futureproof and forward-thinking, each set of C45 wheels comes with both SRAM XDR and Shimano driveshells so that you can swap the wheels onto future iterations of your bike when the time comes.The asymmetric carbon construction of the 3T Discus C45 Ltd Stealth Wheelset's rims allows for spokes to be offset - compensating for the space required for cassettes and brake rotors on the hubs. This enables wheels to be built with equal spoke angles on the drive and non-drive sides and crucially for you means greater stiffness and lasting durability. - Ideal for premium all-road/gravel/adventure bikes- Ultra-lightweight unidirectional carbon fibre construction- 700c with 45mm deep section but aerodynamic properties of 60mm- Innovative offset double angle drilling for maximal stiffness- Tubeless-ready clincher formatFeatures: Material: Unidirectional Carbon - ultralight layupUse: Road, Gravel and AdventureRim Size: (28"/700c) 32mm wide, 45mm deepETRTO: 622x25cTubeless Ready: YesType: ClincherSpokes: Sapim CX-Ray Straight-pull, Stainless Steel, black finish, double-butted aeroSpoke Count: Front: 24; Rear: 24Hubs: 3T GW Bombproof Hubs, Centerlock type, oversized light Alloy hub bodies, spindles & freehub body, adjustable bearings, black satin anodisedFreehub Option: Shimano/SRAMWheel Size: 700cNipples: Sapim chrome-plated brassFront Hub Spec: Thru-axle 100x12mmRear Hub Spec: Thru-axle 142x12mmRear Hub Compatibility: 10/11s Shimano freewheel and SRAM XDR Driver body includedSingle or Pair: PairPart Number: 3T7009DQDF81W Weight: 1640gBuy 3T Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Specifically designed for gravel riding, this versatile wheelset is perfect for spending the weekend exploring backroads and countryside adventures. It features a high-quality full-carbon rim construction, which makes each wheel durable and stiff, while also keeping the weight impressively low. Fulcrum has also given each wheel a unidirectional (UD) carbon fibre finish, making it look as awesome as it performs. Coming complete with an aerodynamic profile and a range of technologies including Tubeless Ready and 2-Way Fit, this model is a great choice of upgrade for conquering every mile on your gravel bike. Carbon Fibre Gravel Bike Wheelset Fulcrum Rapid Red Carbon: discover new horizons fast. The Rapid Red family of wheels now boasts a set of wheels dedicated to those who want to discover new terrains and new trails, with a touch of extra speed. Fulcrum has applied the technological know-how from their top-of-the-range wheels to develop the reactive, light, and reliable Fulcrum Rapid Red Carbon, for gravel (and for whatever gravel means to you). Lightness and reactivity are guaranteed by the S-Shape asymmetrical profile carbon rim. This technology improves the balance between the tension of the spokes. The optimised balance ensures long-term performance levels. Moreover, the unique shape of the rim profile increases stiffness by 2.5% compared to a traditional U-shaped profile. 2-Way Fit Ready To achieve maximum performance with tubeless tyres, the Rapid Red Carbon features a tubeless-specific non-drilled bridge: 2-Way Fit. The non-drilled bridge has a C-Lux Finish, a mirror-like finish that makes it easier to install the tyre. The wheel assembly is completed with Fulcrum's patented Mo-Mag technology, which uses a simple and ingenious solution to seat the nipple on the rim hole with a magnet. The rim has a 30mm high profile with a mini-hook system that extends its compatibility with a wider range of pressures (the only limit is the one given by the tyre). Moreover, Fulcrum’s dimensional precision guarantees greater safety against the tyre rolling off the rim at low pressures, thanks to the larger support surface available with the wider inner rim width of 25mm. And as you’ve come to expect from #fulcrumfast, Fulcrum has also employed functional solutions that marry aesthetics and performance. At a glance, you will immediately notice the new Direct Inmold Matt Finish (DIMF). The Fulcrum Rapid Red Carbon is the perfect solution for demanding riders looking for a top-of-range product with “made in Europe” technology. Technologies: 2-Way Fit Profile for Tubeless and Clincher: Tubeless technology was first used by the auto industry, then by motorcycles and now has reached the cycling industry. After its debut with mountain bikes the moment has come to “put it on the road”, and that’s what Fulcrum propose to do. The brand has developed its 2-Way Fit technology to ensure the perfect compatibility of its tubeless rims with normal clincher types and tubes. 2-Way Fit road bike wheels are perfectly multipurpose for tackling every situation. Thanks to a special impression in the valve area, the tubes are fitted with maximum precision while keeping the tube perfectly stable inside the tyre. Housing the valve for tubeless tyres is also risk-free, with the unquestionable advantage that there are never any air infiltrations caused by non-ideal positioning when fitting. Rim Dynamic Balance (RDM): The concept is simple and elegant: balance the weight of the gasket, with an item of similar weight placed on the exact opposite side. Momag: A magnet and lots of ingenuity. This was what led to the patent for the well-tested “Mounting Magnet” system, or MoMag. Fulcrum Identification Card (FIC) - 100% Handmade Quality: Right from its inception Fulcrum has been marked by the feature that continues to this day: that to design, prototype and industrialise all the wheels characterised by the red “F”. Indeed these take shape inside of the R&D, the leading-edge department that represents the beating heart of the Italian company. Every single component of the wheel, the materials chosen and the technologies applied are the tangible result of the effort that Fulcrum makes every day to give you maximum performance and reliability. AFS Axle System: The Axial Fixing System is the solution developed by Fulcrum to fix the disc brake to the hub. The constraint granted by the butt area of the release mechanism, greater than in familiar standard ones, makes it possible to obtain greater structural rigidity and therefore more precise and powerful braking. Full Carbon Rim Technology: Full carbon Fulcrum rims are built using combinations, developed in the laboratory, of different types of fibre, including UD and the famous 90-degree 3K of models at the top of its range. To build them Fulcrum developed a special HTG (high transition grade) resin, whose glass transition point is at a higher temperature than any other fibre used in the bicycle industry. This gives incomparable performance when braking. Undrilled Rim Bed: No holes on the bridge connector means that the rim is uniform at every point, free from critical areas subject to stress. The advantages are immediately clear: less weight, longer lasting rims, greater resistance to fatigue, and the possibility of giving the spokes more tension and more stiffness which, in terms of performance, means improved responsiveness and acceleration. Cup and Cone: The cup-and-cone bearing differs from the classic cartridge bearing because it works in perfect alignment with the forces involved, weight and thrust from the frame, as the bearings run in a race positioned directly opposing these forces.

Developed with Team Spectra in search of the marginal gains that could help them in some of the UK's biggest races, this wheelset is designed for rolly races and riding as well as fast gravel. Featuring a stiff and lightweight T800 UD carbon fibre rim construction, this model provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio to give you maximum smoothness without adding any unnecessary excess grams to your ride. Prime has also put this version through its CFD testing process, where multiple sizes and shapes were used before coming up with the perfect blend of strength, weight and aerodynamics. Greater Strength To Weight Ratio Built-up using an SR1D, CNC machined 6061 alloy hub body and DT Swiss straight pull spokes, the Prime Primavera 44 Carbon Disc Wheelset creates a stiffer wheel with a greater strength to weight ratio and more reactivity. Its Star Ratchet hub also provides superior reliability, due to each of the ratchets engaging simultaneously every time. Prime has also ensured that tool free freehub conversion is possible. Coming kitted out with an incorporated notch, the newly developed shape of the end caps simplifies disassembly significantly and therefore makes maintenance even easier. Tubeless Ready Carbon Wheelset Developed to give modern riders and racers a much-needed performance upgrade, this wheelset comes kitted out with tubeless ready technology. This means that you can choose to run it tubeless and enjoy advantages such as the ability to run lower tyre pressures for increased stability, comfort and fewer chances of flats or punctures.
