Campagnolo Calima Road Bike Wheels

The Campagnolo Calima C17 wheelset is the base model within the Campagnolo family. This strong wheelset is ideal for bad weather conditions, for commuting or as a replacement wheelset.

You can use this wheelset during the winter to protect your more expensive wheelset against brine, rain and sand, which dramatically accelerates wear.

G3 spoke geometry
Campagnolo has devised a spoke pattern that makes it possible to improve energy transfer and to reduce the load on the right side of the spokes compared to a traditional spoked wheel. This is achieved in the G3 spoke geometry with on the right the double number of spokes from the left for more lateral stiffness.

Compatibility

• To be used with Shimano and/or Sram 9/10/11 speed groupsets.

Delivery includes

• Campagnolo Calima C17 wheelset
• Campagnolo quick release
• Rim tape
• 9/10-speed spacer (when opting for Shimano body)

Assembly

• Cassette remover Shimano or Campagnolo
• (possibly a torque wrench)

Installing a cassette on a wheel is easy if you have the right tools. If you purchase a cassette remover with a Shimano fit, you will be able to mount either a Shimano or Sram cassette on your rear wheel. Please note! For a Campagnolo cassette you need the Campagnolo tool. If you have a Shimano 9/10-speed cassette, first slide the spacer over the body. Then you place the cassette on the body. This can only be done in one way because of the fit of the body. Finally you turn the washer straight on by hand and tighten it with the cassette tool. Cassettes aren’t easily overtightened, but if you want you can use a torque wrench for this.

User tips

• Pay attention to the direction of travel when mounting your tyres.
• For Shimano 9/10-speed, do not forget to mount the spacer first before installing the cassette.
• Make sure the rim tape is stuck well in the rim.
