Shimano Ultegra RS80 Carbon Clincher Front Wheel

Shimano Ultegra RS80 Carbon Clincher Front Wheel: High performance road racing wheel with carbon laminate technology to meet the demands of today's professional and amateur riders. Carbon and alloy laminate clincher rim is both light weight and ridged whilst maintaining high braking performance with standard brake pads. Low rim weight is achieved by reducing the alloy wall thickness to 0.7 mm, then a patent pending phosphoric acid anodizing process is used to bond the carbon fibre to the alloy giving an excellent combination of low weight, strength and rigidity. Added carbon reinforcement is applied around the spoke eyelets for increased durability under high load. 16 front stainless steel butted and bladed straight pull spokesHigh lateral rigidity is improved with a wide flange spacingLabyrinth double contact sealing – low-friction seals effectively shut out water, mud and dirt without affecting rotational smoothnessPolished bearing races reduce friction and provide for smooth rotationCold forged and machined aluminium hub shell keep the wheel weight to a minimum700C clincher compatibleSupplied with Q/R skewerAverage weight: 1521 grams a pair
