andretraut Posted June 9, 2011 Share At 1831g, what do they make the rims of, concrete instead of carbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Goodall Posted June 9, 2011 Share "The rim construction starts with a reliable alloy braking surface which turns into a very thin aluminum skeleton as it continues into the rim section. Carbon fiber is then layered over the thin aluminum skeleton for weight savings and incredible stiffness and strength" * In other words, a carbon sticker is placed over the aluminum rim? * Source http://www.biketiresdirect.com/product/shimano-wh-rs80-c50-cl-clincher-wheelset btw, absolutely no competition for Mavic wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
