Velocity A23 Clincher Rim

Description

When using a 23mm wide clincher tire with the A23 Wheelset, you get the qualities of a tubular ride while retaining the convenience of a clincher.

Tubless Ready

The A23 has been called a “Clinchular” because:

• It has a tubular ride (smooth ride quality, lower rolling resistance)
• It has the convenience of a clincher (ease of installation, easy to repair a flat, low cost).

The A23 is the newest road rim from Velocity.

When using 23c tires, the wider A23 rim creates a constant tire profile, rather than getting pinched into the rim.
The overall ride quality is improved, and the result is tubular-like ride quality from a clincher tire.

WHY BUY YOUR VELOCITY WHEELS/RIMS FROM US?
1. We do NOT sell pre-built wheels/rim.
2. We do NOT sell machine built wheels/rim.
3. We do NOT substitute parts from other manufacturers – Velocity Rims/Velocity Hubs.
4. All wheels are built to order by a velocity Master Wheel Builder – then shipped to Us – we in turn then ship the wheels to you.

OC RIMS
If you are a large rider, or if you place serious torque on your wheels, you might consider OC (Off Center) rims.
With OC rims, all spokes on the rear wheel will be the same length.
The off-center drilling leads to more balanced spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides.

FEATURES:

• 23mm for optimized contact patch resulting in lower rolling resistance
• Tire Type: Clincher
• Material: Alloy
• Valve: Presta

OPTIONS:

Tight tolerances require the use of a low profile rim tape like Velotape to avoid tire installation issues. Veloplugs are not recommended on A23 or A23 OC rims

TO AVOID MOUNTING ISSUES, we strongly advise using Velotape for both traditional tires and tubleless tires:
Velotape can be used as a low profile rim tape or to to convert A23 rims and wheelsets to tubeless.
The kit includes 10 meters of transparent Velotape, enough to setup two 29ers, and 2 high quality tubeless valves with removable cores.
Installation is easy, requiring only a small punch and sharp scissors.

Note:
Black and Silver have normal shipping times.
Colors or Polished will add a little more than a week to shipping times/delivery.
