Vel 38 RSL2 Carbon Tubeless Disc Wheelset
Vel’s lightest road wheel design, the handbuilt 38 RSL2 Carbon Tubeless Disc Wheelset combines low weight with reliability and efficiency for a great ride. The 38mm deep Toray 24/30T carbon rims offer some aerodynamic advantages over standard rims, particularly as their width helps the tyre/rim junction present a smooth interface to the wind, but isn’t so deep that crosswinds are ever an issue. The rim’s width also helps the tyre to open out for greater volume and adds stability to the sidewalls when cornering so that it is both more comfortable and faster. Tubeless-ready, and supplied with valves and a double wrap of rim tape already fitted, conversion to tubeless is quick and simple.
The hubs are courtesy of DT Swiss, with their renowned, super reliable and light 240 EXP model doing the duties. Engagement at the rear is near-instant with the 36-tooth ratchet, which also spreads the load more evenly than a pawl design, adding to its reliability and efficiency. Using both Center Lock and 12mm thru-axle standards, the wheels will fit virtually all modern disc road bikes. Holding the wheel together is another revered wheel brand in the form of Sapim’s CX-Ray spokes, keeping the weight low and strength high. Spare spokes are provided with the wheels to help with any maintenance.
