Brake testing
we have a test rig that runs are wheels under load for the equivalent of 10km with the brakes on. The rims sit at a high temp for an extended period of time. We have had zero heat failures in three years.
Aero testing protocol
All wheels used 23mm GP4000sII with continental butyl tubes at 100psi. We had two riders both of whom were very experienced riders with good, stable aero positions. They aimed to hold around 35kph. Power meter used was a powertap rear wheels for front wheel testing, recalibrated for every test and a quark for rear wheel testing and front wheels testing to get comparative data. Each rider ran each wheel tested 5 times.
We undertook this testing knowing it was not under lab conditions but it demonstrated to us the document-able benefits of our wheels and we stand by the results 100%
Product development
our first rims were open, our current rims are our own. The profile was developed to give the best balance between straight line speed and cross wind stability - that is the true benefit of the wider rim profile.
