Sector GCi Carbon Gravel WheelsetWhether you're racing across the mud or simply exploring the countryside gravel roads, this wheelset is engineered for fast and smooth-rolling performance. It features a hard-wearing unidirectional carbon fibre rim construction, which allows you to benefit from its amazing strength without adding any unnecessary grams to your gravel bike. Engineered to excel in high impact environments, this model is equipped with revolutionary TeXtreme Innegra that's integrated into the layup of the rims. This special fibre delivers 75% high impact resistance when compared to standard carbon rims of the same profile. This means you can enjoy high energy rides with superior vibration damping and none of the harsh stiffness associated with carbon.So what is Innegra?Innegra is a fibre derived from polypropylene that exhibits some highly beneficial properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to damage, vibration damping and energy dissipation. The TexTreme fabric used in the layup of GCi rim is a Spread Tow fabric built from a hybrid of Innegra and T700 carbon fibres. The Spread Tow layout is significant because it also contributes some positive attributes - the fibres are straighter (reduced crimp therefore higher strength) and it facilitates the use of less resin (lower weight).In the GCi rim the Spread Tow fabric is used on the outer layer of the rim, giving it the unique checkerboard pattern.Sounds good, but what does that mean for a rim? Significantly more compliance...Under a lab test the GCi rim was 50% more vertically compliant than a unidirectional T700 carbon rim of the same profile. This test involves loading the rim with a 100kg weight, in which the GCi rim exhibited a deflection of 15.74mm compared to 10.55mm on the standard T700 rim.It is widely acknowledged that vertical compliance is important for damage reduction (less likely to crack), a reduction of fatigue and to improve traction. Such an improvement in vertical compliance also brings a radically improved ride quality to the GCi wheelset.The Innegra equipped rims do not have the associated harsh stiffness of regular carbon wheels. Significantly more impact resistance...In the lab the GCi rim was able to handle impacts of almost double the standard required for MTB wheels by the UCI. The GCi rim withstood an impact of 140J compared the UCI stipulated requirement of an 80J impact, making it 75% stronger than the UCI requirements. In real world terms, the GCi rim can handle the equivalent of dropping a 15kg weight from a height of up to 1.08 metres onto the bare rim, thus making it 18% stronger than a recognised leading competitor who has published their data. Much less weight...Despite offering strength and compliance advantages, the use of Innegra also allows the construction of an extremely lightweight rim. The Innegra equipped GCi rim weighs just 440g, and Sector's complete wheelset weighs just 1690g.Features: Rim Material: T-700 Unidirectional Carbon Fibre; Outer layer: TeXtreme Plain Weave Spread Tow Carbon Fibre and Innegra S Hybrid Wheel Size: 700c Use: Gravel Spokes / Type: Pillar 1422 Bladed / Straight Pull Nipples: Pillar Black Brass DSN Hub Rotor Fitment: Centrelock Freehub: 6 Pawl (Shimano or SRAM XD options available to select) Hole Count: 24h ERD: 566mm Rim Width: (Internal) 24mm | (External) 31mm Rim Depth: 38mm Tubeless: Yes Single or Pair: Pair End Caps: (Front) 100x12mm / (Rear) 142x12mm Extras: Tubeless Sealant, valves, tape and 15mm end caps Weight: 1690gBuy Sector Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
The Shimano RS710 C32 disc-brake wheelset, along with the deeper-section C46, is the Japanese brand’s most affordable carbon, road wheelset ever. Drawing on their experience in producing the more premium Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines, Shimano have crafted a wheelset that balances aerodynamic advantage, with weight and overall rigidity. A Wheelset for Mountains Weighing a respectable 1,511g for the set, the Shimano RS710 C32 is perfect for those big days spent cycling in the mountains. Although there might be lighter wheels on the market—though perhaps not this price point—you certainly won’t feel weighed down by these hoops. With a lighter wheel you’ll feel the zip when you put down the power, getting you up to speed in no time. Whether you need a quick burst of acceleration to crest a sharp hill or to see off a potentially race-losing attack, the RS710 C32s won’t leave you watching the peloton motor on without you. Wider Rims, Better Braking Boasting a wider rim profile than any other Shimano wheel at this level, you’ll be able to fit a wider and tubeless tyre; the benefit of this being you can run the tyre at a lower pressure. It’s widely accepted now that, contrary to past beliefs, running a wider tyre at lower pressure reduces rolling resistance, which in turn increases speed for a given power. Furthermore, a wider tyre will work more effectively with a wider rim in terms of aerodynamic performance, again offering you more speed for less effort. The Shimano RS710 C32 is engineered for hydraulic disc-brakes, meaning you’ll benefit from the stopping power offered by this braking system. The advantages of discs over rim brakes have now been widely accepted: you’ll have consistent performance in the wet, you won’t have to fear overheating your rims on long and/or steep descents, and you won’t be concerned about your expensive rims eroding away every time you break. Lastly, for the mechanically minded, Shimano have stuck with their tried-and-tested cup-and-cone bearings in the hubs. This is similar to the used on many of the brand’s hubs, which are highly regarded for their reliability and simplicity. So if it’s a carbon wheelset that’s relatively light, reliable, and offers top performance look no further than the Shimano RS710 C32.

The result is less control in the corners, less traction on climbs, and more rolling resistance. Rims that are too wide also distort the tyre profile, decreasing traction and control and driving impacts directly into the rim, negating the impact absorbing advantages of a tyre's volume. Stan's WideRight rim widths are designed to strike the perfect balance between tyre volume and sidewall function. BST (Bead Socket Technology): Bead Socket Technology rims are designed to match the shape of your tyre's bead to create a safer and more secure airtight interface. BST rims secure the bead of the tyre, not the sidewall, creating an airtight seal while allowing the tyre's sidewall to expand to its true, rounder, more effective profile. The result is more traction and less rolling resistance. With lower-profile, less vulnerable sidewalls, Stan's BST rims are also lighter and stronger by design and accelerate more quickly. Neo Hub: The Stan's Neo hub has a 100% precision CNC machined hub shell that is both incredibly light and strong. It features a 4 pawl, 36-point drive system for amazingly quick engagement. Oversized bearings ensure maximum durability and the swaged axle & wide bearing stance is 3 times stronger than conventional designs. There is a high durometer main seal integrated into the hub shell and the Sealock end caps lock into place bringing unmatched smoothness.Buy Stan's No Tubes Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
