The Right Kind Of Wheels For Bicycles

Techlite makes rims for bikes. These high tech wheels are light and aerodynamic aluminium and carbon fiber wheels for your street biking pleasure.

Techlite aluminium wheels feature an aerodynamic 24mm deep profile, and weigh in at a svelte 1460 grams for the pair, including fast acting skewers. Techlite wheels also feature a low spoke count of 20 in the front wheel and 24 in the rear wheel, for lightweight and further decreased wind resistance. These wheels roll like greased lightning, and they are round.

The Techlite carbon wheels can be found in both clincher and tubular styles. What does clincher and tubular mean you ask? In road biker speak, a Techlite clincher is what you could consider as a standard wheel and tire combo, either tubeless or having a traditional inner tube. A Techlite tubular wheel accepts a special tire which has the inner tube sewn into the tire, and this tire/tube combo (i.e. Tubular) is then glued on the dedicated tubular edge. Tubulars are advantageous because they can be run at much higher pressure and many riders feel that they offer a better ride. Clinchers offer more tire decisions, and seriously simpler upkeep and flat repair [*T].

The Techlite carbon wheel features an air cutting 38mm deep cross section weighs merely a feathery 1400 grams for the combo, also counting fast release skewers. The Techlite tubular carbon wheelset has all the exciting features of the clincher but keeps off even more weight, coming in at helium like 1340 gram for set, including rapid release clamps.

Techlite wheels have centers, spokes and a rim. The tire goes on the rim, and the inside tube goes within the tire. After installing the tube and tire on your new Techlite wheels, fill with air the inner tube to the specified pressure. Mount them on your cycles, go ride your bike and luxuriate in the ride.
