How To Get The Most|get The Most} out Of Carbon mtb wheels
Carbon wheels are a big investment on your MTB. They cost much more than traditional steel wheels, but their incredibly light weight makes them worth every penny. In this post I want to share with you how to make sure they last a long time, as well as one of the best sets of mountain bike wheels on the market.
It’s extremely important to remember that while carbon is very strong, it doesn’t take impact well. Improperly clamping your carbon wheels in a repair stand can cause some major damage. Also, much of the damage can’t even be seen, so you have to do everything you can to protect it while not riding. If you are concerned that your wheels may be damaged, have a pro inspect them. Carbon wheels can give out without warning when they are compromised!
Regular cleaning and maintenance of your wheels is the same as steel. Clean them with soap, water, and a soft cloth or towel. Be sure to thoroughly dry them off.
The biggest maintenance issue with carbon wheels is flat tires. When you ride on carbon, a flat tube is more than a pain in the butt, it risks ruining your wheel. As soon as you notice that you’re low on air, get off the bike! These wheels aren’t designed to take any sort of abuse without an inflated tire.
Also, be sure to check spoke tension frequently. Most carbon wheels are very tall, which means that spokes can almost come off before you notice that they are loose. Check them before and after every ride.
The Fulcrum Red Carbon Mtb Wheelset is one of the lightest and strongest mountain bike wheels currently available. They weigh in at a paltry 1450 grams, and have the strength to make them survive whatever punishment you throw at them. Another very cool feature of these wheels is something that they took from the racing circuit, each wheel has four spokes less than previous models, which reduces weight and makes maintaining their speed even easier.
Carbon wheels are the ultimate accessory on any mountain, road, or track bike, but with the upgrade comes increased maintenance. Follow the steps to make sure that your wheels last as long as the bike does!
