Reynolds AR29 Carbon Wheelset - Tubeless Black, SRAM, XDR

If you're in the market for a set of do-it-all carbon wheels that won't force a refinance, please have a look at the Tubeless AR29 Carbon Wheelset from Reynolds. Enjoy the weight savings, improved lateral stiffness, and slight aero benefit that can only come from carbon fiber in this depth. What we really enjoy about these wheels is its ability to maintain its composure in windy conditions so we can confidently ride them up and down mountains even in howling winds. The slightly shallower profile also improves the ride quality with a touch more vertical compliance and when paired with lower pressure, wider tubeless rubber, you'll certainly appreciate the additional ride comfort and lower rolling resistance. Reynolds has been building carbon hoops for a while and has refined its technique for building lightweight and durable rims. This AR29 wheelset features a wide, 19mm internal width for plumping up tires, increasing its volume without having to resort to wider, heavier tires. Its 27mm external width provides heaps of support for lateral stiffness in sprints, out of the saddle climbing, and high-speed cornering. Additionally, its shape is optimized for crosswind stability so you can ride with confidence and without the fear of getting blown around in blustery conditions. Laced up with Sapim Sprint spokes and durable brass nipples, this is a wheelset that we wouldn't hesitate to ride every day and the inclusion of a lifetime warranty only further bolsters this. And for peace of mind when grabbing the binders, you'll be happy to know that its new Ctg2 Brake Track Is 30-percent more heat-resistant than previous models.
