Deep section carbon fiber wheels are no faster than their alloy shallow section counterparts at certain speeds.
Deep section carbon wheels.
Let s make a few things clear here.
Plus due to the fact that deep wheels are almost always of carbon construction they tend to be much more expensive than a traditional.
Deeper wheels are also heavier than shallower wheels.
The difference between basic training wheels and the best of this group can be as.
In spite of their shallow rim roval says the profile is even more aero than the previous deeper section clx 40.
Deep section rims are built from carbon fiber because aluminum rims of equivalent height would be very heavy and could not be rolled into a circle without wrinkling.
And therein lies the rub.
Most deep carbon rims are.
These are heavier but are cheaper than a complete carbon rim owing to lower manufacturing and development costs.
Deep section aero wheels offer some of the biggest speed gains you can find along with your helmet and clothing.
