Zipp 303 S Carbon Disc Front Road WheelTaking its design from the higher-spec Firecrest 303 model, this front wheel is ideal for modern "go anywhere" road bikes. Zipp has also updated this model with a wider rim to improve rider comfort, handling and aerodynamics. Expanding greatly on its heritage of conquering the Spring Classics, this 303 wheel maintains its ideal-for-every-terrain 45mm rim depth. However, this model adds a significantly wider internal width to provide greater performance and ride quality in almost every measurable way. Road bikes are more versatile than ever no matter the road surface, but just as fast as before. The 303 S offers an entirely new rim profile and design to optimise rider performance on this new breed of bike. This wheelset is tubeless compatible and designed for disc-brake bikes, allowing the ability to run wide tires at lower pressures for race-ready speed on or off the tarmac.45mm Deep Front WheelThe 303 S is among Zipp's lightest wheels, optimised for top aero performance with a 28mm tyre but capable of handling gravel tyres up to 50mm wide. The key innovation is in the 303 S's rim design. Its 45mm rim depth is the same as its predecessor, the 302 Disc brake. But its external rim width is 2mm wider, at 27mm, and its tyre bed is a full 7mm wider, at 23mm internal width. That rim platform is designed to be the fastest with a 28mm tyre. The wide rim optimises tyre profile to allow lower tyre pressure. That helps to reduce rolling resistance and provides a more compliant ride. The result of all this is a 10 watt savings vs. a top peer wheel in total power required to ride 40kph on a flat road with a 28mm tire, according to internal Zipp testing.This ground-breaking wheel also features all-new cosmetics, setting the rider apart from the pack, and comes at a very attractive price.Features: Rim Material: Carbon Fibre with updated Zipp graphics Brake Compatibility: Disc (centre lock) Rim Inside Width: 23mm Rim Profile: Symmetrical Rim Type: Clincher Rim Finish: UB Fibre / Bake-on Labels / Matte Clear Coat Spoke Type: CX-Sprint Spoke Count: 24 Spoke Pattern: 2-cross Nipple Material: Brass Axle Type: TA 12x100mm Bearing Type: Cartridge - Stainless Steel Driver Mechanism: 3 pawls leaf spring Tubeless Ready: Yes Hub: 76 DB hub with centre locking interfaceSingle or Pair: Single Weight: 711gBuy Zipp Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

ENVE Foundation 45mm Carbon Road WheelsetThis versatile road bike wheelset features a reliable carbon fibre construction, which makes it incredibly stiff when climbing as well as lightweight when descending. Perfect for racing, this wheelset's shape is both drag-taming and crosswind defying as it takes its design from the top of range SES model. This makes it a great choice of upgrade for modern, multi-purpose road cycling plus, its rim width and anti-pinch flat technology ensures that higher volume tubeless road tyres can be added for greater stability, strength and an incredibly low weight.Built upon over a decade of carbon wheel crafting experience, the Foundation 45 brings ENVE's knowledge and technology to the masses. Blended aero properties, tubeless compatibility, and pinch flat protection for the rider looking to test the waters on carbon wheel performance. ENVE Worthy, and priced to provide the foundation for confident riding through performance-crafted carbon in the US. Ideal for cyclists and triathletes looking to move into the world of carbon. Aerodynamics are an unalienable right for road cyclists and triathletes that allows for greater efficiency and confidence-inspiring handling, regardless of wind conditions. With more than a decade's experience in developing some of the world's fastest wheels, ENVE are uniquely qualified to deliver best-in-class aerodynamics to the Foundation customer.Like ENVE's SES wheel family, the Foundation Collection and its ENVE 45 were tested and developed at the Mercedes Benz Formula One wind-tunnel to deliver best-in-class real-world aero performance. Unlike other wheel brands who only test isolated wheels at elite speeds of 30mph/48kph, ENVE develops and tests wheels in-frame at multiple speeds ranging from 20mph/32kph to 30mph/48kph. This testing, while more time consuming and expensive, ensures that the ENVE 45 delivers performance advantages to riders of all abilities.Tubeless for the WinTubeless is the future and the future is now. The benefits of road tubeless are as follows:• Lower rolling resistance: By eliminating the inner-tube, the friction between tyre and tube is also eliminated, allowing the tyre roll, flex, and conform to the road with greater efficiency.• Flat less, ride more: Flat tyres are a buzz-kill. With a little sealant you can eliminate nearly all flats that would have been caused by an intrusive thorn or piece of debris.• Run the Best Pressure: Tubeless means you can run the pressure you want to maximize comfort, traction, and rolling efficiency. • Hookless/Straight-Sidewall Design: Tubeless performance depends on the tire maintaining a light press-fit with the rim on the bead seat diameter. ENVE chooses a hookless tubeless rim profile as it allows the rim's critical tolerance at the bead seat diameter to be both consistent and accurate. In short, hookless is chosen to deliver a more safe, reliable, and ultimately proper tyre fitment.The ENVE 45 is optimised for use with tubeless tyres greater than 25mm wide.

This trickle-down approach from ENVE's top-of-the-line products means the ENVE 45's outperform, or perform similar to, competitor's wheels that are upmarket in price. Wide, Hookless Bead Teachnology: Featuring ENVE's Wide Hookless Bead technology, the ENVE 45 disperses any impact from pot holes, curbs and debris over a wide area, reducing the likelihood of pinch flats. Potholes and unforeseen impacts are part of life, but that doesn't mean they need to ruin your ride. The ENVE 45 features ENVE's patent pending Wide Hookless Bead which is a design element at the leading edge of the rim that dissipates impact energy and reduces the likelihood of pinch flatting your tubed or tubeless tyre. Patented Technology: Patented Molded Spoke and Valve Stem Hole Technology results in rims that are light and strong. Because carbon fibre gets its strength from continuous fibres, ENVE routes the fibres around the hole without cutting them which increases the strength of each spoke hole. ENVE's patented process of moulding spoke and valve stem holes results in rims that are stronger and lighter. Because carbon fibre gets its strength from continuous fibres, ENVE routes the fibres around the hole without cutting them, increasing the strength of each spoke hole. This technique pays large dividends in the final product by allowing for a lighter spoke face while improving rim strength. Because of this process, our spoke holes are capable of maintaining higher spoke tensions, greatly reducing the risk of spoke pull-through and the need to constantly true your wheels. Strong, light and maintenance-free. ENVE Foundation Road Hub: The ENVE Foundation Road Hub features ENVE's core hub technologies. The hub shell uses simplified machining without compromising flange geometry and wheel build stiffness. The drive mechanism uses Instant Drive 360 technology and a 40t ratchet to deliver responsive engagement, minimal drag, and low maintenance performance. The bearings are premium full contact sealed NTN steel bearings. The Rotor attachment is centre-lock. ENVE Has You Covered: The Foundation 45mm Wheelset comes with ENVE's leading Lifetime Incident Protection and 5 Year warranty. The 5 Year Warranty protects buyers from defects in material and workmanship.
