• New to carbon rims and could do with some advice please.

    First up, I want to build a wheel set for my rim brake road bike and after looking at the LB range these are what stood out -

    FALCON rim R55 Road/CX
    Grooved Graphine Surface
    24h Front, 28h Rear

    Any reason why not? Or is there a better option?

    Secondly, I need to build a fixed rear wheel and was looking at this rim -

    FALCON rim R55 disc Road/CX
    28h

    Again, anything better I should be looking at?

    Thanks.

  • 28h Rear

    If you think you need more than 24H rear, you might as well go all the way to 32. 28 is a weird no man's land which might have been a viable minimum in the 70s when rims were soft aluminium about 15mm deep, but now it offers practically no performance advantage over 32 and just cuts your hub options in half.
