Tubular Wheels

[swift]

Here is what we have to offer the market from Corima.

 

 

 

They have been making full carbon clinchers since the 1980's, and have been around for decades so no wonder they are pioneering the way forward with Tubeless Road Wheels. These are full cabron tubeless deep-section road wheels, and have come out after the first attempts from other brands. They come with second generation Huchinson Fusion II Tyres.

Very interesting having my own thoughts on the GP4000S confirmed.

 

I've been riding them since they were first released in the UK ages ago and I swear by them.

 

I still love my Zipp 404 tubbies though for racing but it's not pretty when they puncture. Regardless of what people say you can get home with most punctures and a bottle of flat-fix (Vittoria). However, the one time I nailed a sharp rock resulting in an unfixable flat my thumbs felt like they were bleeding after changing to a spare tub I happened to be carrying.

 

Bottom line, get a nice light set of clinchers (ala Ksyrium, Fulcrum, Easton etc.) with some latex tubes and you like most of us mortals won't even feel the difference.

This is a pic of the agr2r team bikes (TdF team) from two weeks ago.  Not a tubby in sight...  So yes, even pro's can and do race on clinchers.  Sometimes...

IMO if you are going to spend big money on a set of high end racing wheels, get some full carbon clinchers.

 

My first choise would be Lightweight clinchers, at less than 1100 grams for the set. They are pricey, at about R35k, but they are good!

 

Second choise would probably be one of the following: a custom build with Edge rims, Reynolds DV46C's, Zipp303 or 404 clinchers.

 

(edit - there are 2 brands called Edge in the market, Im NOT talking about the Taiwanese brand as sold in SA too, but the American brand that split off from Lew, or at least had some ties to Lew)

If weight is your main concern, go for light spokes and hubs... but at least get a strong rim made from 12K carbon weave. Hand made in france, by Corima, they are hard to beat...

 

 

 

[Christie]

As far as I know, 3k weave is has better mechanical properties than 12k.

And they are HALF the price of the Corima's.....!!!!!

 

But the Corimas are sure looking good!!!!!

Has anyone tried this Sludge for road stuff that is advertised on this site with tubbies ? If so what's it like compared to Tufo sealant ?

 

[Christie]

I've tried Oko sealent, works fairly well. Have not tried sludge or Tufo. Christie2008-07-02 03:28:07

Swift, what would the weight be of the Corima tubeless?

Been there...done that...

 

BOTH are a BITCH to get out of your brake callipers....

3K weave = 3 000 filaments per square weave

 

12K weave = 12 000 filaments per square weave

 

 

 

They each have their plus points. Corima has moved most of their products to 12K weave, as there is a better radio of weight:strength with 12K.

 

 

 

You can feel the difference... by pressing you thumb into a thin sheet of 3K on some wheels, whereas you cannot even budge a 12K Aero Rim with you finger.

The problem is the pressure. Most MTB tubeless tyres run between 1.5 and 3 bar, whereas Road Tubeless would be upwards of 6 bar. This is a lot lower than 8 or even 13 bar, but still a problem.

 

 

 

Huchinson are working on a new sealant, so i will let you all know what they come up with... if it's not already avaiable already.
