Road and gravel bikes have started to overlap. Modern road bikes can comfortably run wider tires, while gravel bikes are becoming faster and more aerodynamic. As a result, choosing wheels isn't always as simple as...
When cyclists talk about upgrading a bike, the conversation usually starts with the frame, drivetrain, or groupset. Wheels are sometimes treated as an afterthought. That's surprising because wheels have a direct influence on acceleration, handling,...
Gravel racing has become one of the most interesting categories in cycling. The bikes are fast enough to resemble road race machines, but the courses can include loose gravel, rough roads, steep climbs, technical descents,...
Aerodynamics are often associated with racing. Time trials, road races, aero helmets, skinsuits, and deep-section wheels all have one thing in common: reducing drag. But you don't need to pin on a race number to...
Gravel bikes have moved a long way from the early days of modified road bikes. Today's gravel bikes often use much wider tires, lower pressures, more capable frames, and wheels designed specifically for mixed surfaces....
For many cyclists, the first major wheel upgrade is the decision between staying with aluminum or moving to carbon. Aluminum wheels are reliable, practical, and often inexpensive. They are still an excellent choice for training...
Walk into any bike shop and you'll quickly notice that carbon wheels come in a wide range of rim depths. You might see 35mm wheels sitting next to 50mm, 55mm, or even deeper rims. At...
Upgrading your wheels is one of the most noticeable changes you can make to a road or gravel bike. Unlike some upgrades that are difficult to feel during a normal ride, a good wheelset can...
Carbon wheels have changed significantly over the past decades. Originally developed mainly for professional racing, carbon wheel technology has become increasingly accessible to everyday cyclists. Today, carbon wheels represent a combination of advanced materials, engineering,...
