Epic Racing around the World

Let’s say you’re a hard hittin’, single track slayin’, “run through it/not around it” kind of rider.

Maybe one that’s not slowing down for the turns but rather using them to accelerate.

Or let’s say you travel. Bike rides in places that don’t have bike shops, at least bike shops like the ones you find in places like Boulder, Colorado. Or Dallas, Texas. Bike shops that don’t look like department stores and won’t have specialty spokes, should a large stick decide to wedge itself in your rear wheel at 20mph.

These needs and situations weren’t hypothesis, these were and are real situations and needs we found ourselves in. Wheels needed to be stiff, light, strong. I’m not picking two of those three, we need them all.

The Reynolds Topo C (C is for clincher/traditional tire) fits the bill to a “T” (or C as it were).

A tubeless capable rim that’s ultra stiff and durable, uses traditional spokes, is light weight, and of the dozens of pair the team has used this season, exactly ZERO have been in the truing stand. I’ll choose politically correct language and preface the truing stand comment by mentioning that some of our riders are less than fluid when it comes to their riding style…a testament to both the construction quality of the Reynolds wheels, not to mention the skill of their wheel builders.
