Thompson FCC040 carbon clincher wheelset

Posted on
  • Thompson FCC040 carbon clincher wheelset with skewers.

    Shimano 11 speed freehub

    40mm depth

    Absolutely immaculate, very light and stiff wheelset.

    Have changed ‘best summer bike’ to disc setup and these are too good to use on old winter bike.

    List price new £1200 and have only done a years worth of summer miles so have been priced to sell…

    I don’t see this kind of wheelset in the market

    Im looking for 650£ ONO

  • Found this on a CyclingPlus review:

    The TRC wheels feature 40mm-deep rims that are a reasonable 17mm wide internally built onto Thompson’s own straightpull hubs with Sapim CX-Ray spokes. At a claimed weight of 1365g a pair, they’re shod with Schwalbe’s excellent One tyres and we’re impressed with the smooth and stiff way the wheels do their job. Braking isn’t quite up to the best carbon wheels around, with the carbon rims of the TRCs a little on the grabby side, so when braking into a corner it’s more often met with a pulsing rather than progressive speed. We swapped out the hard-feeling carbon-specific pads on our test bike for a set of SwissStop’s Black Prince pads and things immediately improved, although still not on a par with the likes of ENVE or Zipp.
