According to the product specialist
Pros
-
The Shimano Ultegra R8170 C50 wheels are lightweight, reliable and fast! |
With a weight of 1562 grams, this wheelset is one of the more lightweight ones available. |
Comfort is achieved by a wide, 21 mm tubeless rim. It's suitable for tyres with a width of 28 mm or more. |
The wheels are also tubeless compatible. Riding tubeless with latex reduces the risk of punctures. |
Unparalleled handling in terms of steering, and the sensitivity to wind is very low. The wheels feel like one with the bike. |
The Ubique R50C wheels are multi-purpose, light, stiff, aerodynamic and feel incredibly stable on the road. |
The 28mm external and 21mm internal rim width ensures a perfect fit with 28mm tyres. |
The hubs feature industrial bearings with good seals against water and dirt. |
These wheels are easy to make tubeless with the pre-assembled TLR tape and TLR valves. All you need to do is add TLR tyres and latex sealant. |
The decals are subtle and match any bike. And with a 50mm wheel set, your road bike will look even better! |
This is Elitewheels' most aerodynamic wheelset. It retains its stability in windy conditions and weighs only 1490 grams! |
Its 55-65 mm rim profile retains the rigidity of a high rim and combines it with the wind stability of a low rim. |
The wheels are optimised for 28-30 mm tyres to minimise rolling resistance and air resistance. |
The Surface hubs have steel bearings. Thanks to their 0.02 mm tolerances, they get close to the rolling resistance and durability of ceramic bearings. |
The Star Ratchet system engages quickly and results in immediate power transfer. |
Cons
-
The Dura Ace 9170 C50 wheels take another 100 grams off the wheels, for the real weightweenies. It's bearing quality is also one more step better. |
A Campagnolo body is not available. |
Stainless steel spokes are relatively heavy, but they do provide these wheels with extra lateral rigidity. |
