Planet X Pro Carbon Wheels from Planet-X-Warehouse.Co.UK

SteveintheUK in Manufacturers, Planet-X-Warehouse, Products, Rims, Wheel Set, Wheels

RIMS

All of our carbon wheels are built using structural carbon rims – this means that the carbon is ‘hard’ to touch and is a structural part of the wheel.

Carbon 50 wheels are available in either tubular or clincher version, Carbon 82 and 101’s are tubular only. We currently don’t sell the clinchers as rim only. Planet X offer a variety of rim drillings – 16h, 24h, and 32h.

RIM ERD’S (Effective Rim Diameter’s)
(you’ll need these if you’re building your own wheels when calculating required spoke length using a spoke length caculator)

50mm Rim – 563mm

82mm Rim – 501mm

101mm Rim – 463mm

APPROXIMATE WHEEL WEIGHTS

RIM ONLY:

Carbon 50 Tubular – 460g

Carbon 82 Tubular – 597g

Carbon 101 Tubular – 638g

The weights below are taken from actual wheels in the warehouse. However, there will be variations in the weight of wheels due to the nature of carbon fibre construction – you might be lucky and get a really light pair.

ZIPP 1080 extra deep wheel set from Cycle-World.co.uk

SteveintheUK in Manufacturers, Products, Tech Info, Wheel Set, Wheels, ZIPP

This all new ground-breaking torodial rim shape is designed to provide maximum aerodynamic advantage and has proven to be 29 seconds faster than a trispoke over 40 k. In wind tunnel testing it improves upon the record set by our 808 (82mm deep) rim and is still 80 grams lighter than the lightest trispoke.

Our detailed wind tunnel research has allowed us to explore the relationship between rim shape and depth in multiple innovative ways. This 1080 wheel set is designed to extract the maximum from the passing air while eliminating the pulsing drag effects of the trispoke. It is effective at 2-3 degrees more wind yaw than even our popular 808 and produces a saving of 2-3 watts over our standard 404.

This is the must have wheel for the dedicated TT specialist. Released in tubular and clincher versions with internal nipples and Zipp’s new Carbon Bridge™ technology, this wheel is destined to quickly find its niche among the podium champs.

Specs
Front 16 spokes, rear 20 spokes, internal nipples
Max rim width 27.5mm
Brake track width 21mm
Rim depth 108mm
Weight: front 774 grams, Rear 894 grams (tubular)

Price: £1,650
