Rim bike wheels CX 238

Rims represent one of the key elements of the wheel and directly influence the stability, rigidity, and performance of the bicycle on all types of terrain. It is the rim that houses the tire, and its choice depends on various factors, such as diameter (e.g., 26", 27.5", 28"/700C), internal width, and construction material. Regarding the material, in fact, aluminum offers an excellent compromise between weight and strength, while carbon ensures maximum lightness and high performance. The market offers rims specifically designed for road, gravel, MTB, or trekking, with profiles that are more or less high depending on the use and the need for aerodynamics, control, or comfort. Compatibility with tires (whether traditional, tubeless, or tubular) and with brakes, whether disc or traditional, is also crucial.
