OVERVIEW

With an aerodynamic 45mm deep profile, the C45 is our jack-of-all-trades wheel set. Whether you are chasing KOMs on the mountain or racing your buddies to the next checkpoint, this wheel set is for you.

This wheel set offers all the aerodynamic benefits of a much deeper profile in a lighter package that’s easier to control in crosswinds. If there’s climbing to do, these could be your best choice. We have designed the rim to work with both new road bikes or as a fantastic choice to upgrade your older road bike with limited clearance.

FEATURES

NEW GROOVED GRAPHENE  BRAKING SURFACE

We are extremely pleased and excited to feature our new Grooved Graphene Braking Surface. Our new resin system and construction method, combined with the 3k rim track, withstands over 280°C, dissipates heat, and lowers rim temperatures faster in between braking efforts. Gain confidence-inspiring brake performance on the steepest descents and wettest conditions with our matching brake pads. Also, graphene added to the rim brake track allows for greater resistance to overheating with improved heat dissipation and reduced temperature accumulation during heavy braking. The grooved track helps evacuate trapped moisture between pad and rim in wet conditions, and brings more resistance and force at the lever when conditions are dry.

The T11 is White Industries rim brake (non-disc) road hub and is the perfect choice for road and cross builds.  Made in White Industries shop from U.S. sourced 6061-T6 aluminum.

OVERVIEW

This is a great all-around wheel for all types of riding. The C45's have been popular for road riding and racing, time trials and triathlons, gravel and cyclocross. This carbon wheelset is fast, strong and comfortable. The C45 uses a mid-depth rim: it's light enough to accelerate and climb and a joy in cross winds, while its aerodynamics make you feel like you have an added gear at race speeds.

The C45 measures 28mm at its widest point - a bit wider than most to improve the tire's aerodynamics and widen its contact patch for better handling. You'll get more out of your chosen tires with a wider rim.

Premium Sapim Race Spokes are double butted and provide a combination of lighweight and strength.  The brass Sapim Secure Lock nipples work great for strength and hold up better to corrosion than standard alloy nipples.

The C45 can be built with a number of different axle combinations. If you don't see it, let us know and we will get you taken care of. Disc brake axle types are as follows:

Front
Quick Release
12mm thru-axle
15mm thru-axle

Rear
Quick Release 
12mm x 142mm thru-axle

SRAM XDR and Campagnolo free hubs are available with the ROL and White Industries hubs.
