Shimano Dura Ace WH 9000 C50 Tubular Front Wheel Parts Road Wheels

Shimano Dura Ace WH 9000 C50 Tubular Front Wheel. You've seen this super sleek carbon fiber wheel on bikes pedaled to victory in the Tour de France by the likes of Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome, now find out for yourself just what a lightweight, aerodynamic, high performance marvel the Shimano Dura Ace 9000 C50 Tubular Front Wheel actually is. The C50 moniker means the tubular rim is constructed of high modulus carbon fiber with a 50mm rim depth which translates to flat out speed, stiffness, and superb handling out on the road. The engineers at Shimano created a rim profile that slices through the wind and is optimized for typical wind velocity and wind angle conditions typically encountered on the bike. The Dura Ace 9000 C50 is thusly a superb all around road racing and triathlon racing choice. Additionally, the aluminum Dura Ace 9000 hub is lightweight and incredibly smooth rolling while the 16 butted, bladed spokes in a radial lace pattern further enhance the wheel's ability to slice through the wind. The spoke nipples are hidden to enhance aerodynamics while the 24mm rim width ensures plenty of surface area and a wide contact patch for gluing on a tubular tire.
