Racing with Deep Section Carbon Wheels

[Metzet]

Hey Guys,

 

I got a 60/88 set of carbons that are ready to churn..

 

Does anybody know if there are restrictions on racing with deep section carbon wheels ?! (CSA/UCI regulations)

 

Cheers

Wheels with fewer than 16 spokes, spokes with any thickness dimension greater than 2.4mm or with a section great than 2.5cm are considered non-standard by the UCI. They may only be used if they've passed a rupture test. The UCI keeps a list of wheels that have passed these tests here:

You can only legally use deep section wheels that appear on that list.

Is this for a TT bike or road bike?

The wheels were bought for my TT bike, but was thinking of throwing them on the road bike for an upcoming race..

Unless you race for a top place i am sure you won't have a problem with them......unless the wind blows and you are in a bunch.
