Here, the 3T Discus C35 Team Wheelset’s only  issue is that it’s so secure taking from its siblings, it might be too  confident. It shares the hub design of the C35 Pro and a carbon-fiber rim  similar to that on the C35 LTD, giving you a light disc-brake wheel (1425g for  the set) with good aerodynamics and the right price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rim  is carbon-fiber, designed for clincher tires, 24.5mm wide, 32mm deep, and  offset to the left. The design is asymmetric to better balance the spoke tension  on dished wheels. You know that rear wheels are dished, but once you go to disc  brakes, front wheels need to be dished, too. Further, the front spokes need to  be crossed due to the twisting forces at the hub from the brake. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spoke  bed is also improved by what 3T calls double-angle drilling, which means that  the holes are set both for the radial and tangent angles, creating a straighter  line from the hub flanges to the rim. The alloy nipples are set internally for  greater rim strength and they rest on washers that add strength to the rim and  make it easy to tension if you ever knock the rim out of true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoing  back to the rim, it is wide for aerodynamics. With 700c by 23-25mm tires, and  you won’t want to narrower, the tire, when mounted to the rim will result in  the leading and trailing edges being nearly identical. This is an aero benefit  both for no-wind and crosswind situations. The greater air volume reduces  rolling resistance and increases comfort for a given pressure and means you can  even lower pressure and see both rolling resistance and comfort improve. Wider  tires, also fit, and you can probably go as wide as your bike allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  double-butted aero spokes, 24 front and rear, crossed-two, lead to flanges  designed for straight-pull spokes. Below the spokes is a convertible axle  system. There are pinch bolts on the end caps. These can be loosened and the  caps removed so you can chose between a quick-release axle and a thru-axle. This  is for both front and rear hubs, with the front width the standard 100mm,  swapping to either a 12 or 15mm thru-axle, and the rear width 135mm, allowing  you to choose between a standard quick release or a 135x12mm or 142x12mm thru  axle. All necessary end caps, axles, and quick releases are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe disc  rotor, and you’ll need one for each hub, mounts to the hub via Centerlock-style  splines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  standard cassette body is a Shimano\/SRAM-compatible 10\/11-speed spline. A  9\/10\/11-speed Campagnolo-compatible cassette body is available as an  aftermarket option. The set also comes with rim strips. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3T  Discus C35 Team Wheelset gives you the advantage of carbon-fiber rims with a  smart axle design so your disc-brake-equipped bike is ready for anything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"3T","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ Shimano \/ SRAM","offer_id":43505419157548,"sku":"412BLBG41W","price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/7684\/9196\/files\/3t-discus-c35-team-clincher-wheelset-6173324.jpg?v=1771302667","url":"https:\/\/ricycles.com\/products\/3t-discus-c35-team-clincher-wheelset","provider":"RA Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
