Planet-X TEAM EDITION 50/50 Tubular Wheelset

Saving rotating weight is one of the best ways to increase performance and at just 1296 grams per pair, our team edition Carbon 50 aero wheels are amongst the lightest carbon wheels on the market.

Race proven, these wheels are lovingly handbuilt by our very own in-house master wheel builders. Smooth-Wall Technology carbon fibre means better uniformity of the carbon layers. Carbon rims are laced up with premium quality Sapim CX Ray branded aero spokes on Planet X Pro hubs (by Chosen).

These wheels are light, true, strong, but above all very fast!

Technology

We use a Smooth-Wall Technology production method on our new Team Edition SL Carbon rims.

Smooth-Wall Technology does away with the traditional air bags used in most carbon production - it makes the internal surfaces as smooth and wrinkle free as the outer surface. This means better uniformity of the carbon layers and reduces the wrinkles and voids in normal carbon wheel production - ultimately this means greater strength, minimum risk of stress fracture, and a significantly lighter, yet stronger carbon product.

The team Edition SL carbon rims weigh in at a super sprightly 350g and come with external nipples for ease in truing.

The Smoothwall Technology is also used the production of our Nanolight and Exocet frames - so if you want to avoid wrinkles and have less stress look no further than our new 2010 frames and wheels.

Note: carbon specific brake pads are recommended for use with these wheels but are NOT included in the package. Wheelbags and Skewers are not included, but may be added to your purchase separately.
