Furbz Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Anyone use them?I just bought a new set of road wheels - Roval CLX 50's They came with rim tape installed as well as as Rovals own version on veloplugs.They are meant to save 15g per wheel. All on the outside where it counts. I'm loath to remove the lovely Roval rim tape, but my inner weight weenie is itching!
Thomo Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Plugs look like an interesting option - unfortunately no experience with them.If plugs are "better", why are they not the default option.?

Kalahari Vegmot Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Well, 90g of rotational weight....... 30g off your wheelset.... Is everything else on your bike and yourself as light as it can possibly be? IMO not worth the hassle
Thomo Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Because they not spez specific"Rovals own version on veloplugs.".?
Furbz Posted June 10, 2017 Author Posted June 10, 2017 "Rovals own version on veloplugs.".?yep, basically a plug that says roval on it. decided to just use the tape.i have a few extra kg's i could loose and end weight of my bike with my old frame is 7.3 to 7.4kgs.
Kalahari Vegmot Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 "Rovals own version on veloplugs.".?Oh yeah sorry; didn't read properly
droo Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Plugs look like an interesting option - unfortunately no experience with them.If plugs are "better", why are they not the default option.? Rim tape is way easier to fit, I guess...
LOOK695 Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I presume that the plugs will not work with a tubeless tyre which is how I would use those wheels Oops????Edited. No more pugs????
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I presume that the pugs will not work with a tubeless tyre which is how I would use those wheelswould be hard to get their mouths to fit around the tyre, for one....
Furbz Posted June 12, 2017 Author Posted June 12, 2017 I presume that the pugs will not work with a tubeless tyre which is how I would use those wheels thats actually what they are designed primarily for. tubeless would be hard to get their mouths to fit around the tyre, for one....
