You wheel set comes built ready to ride.
The PR38 wheels come complete with tyres to ensure that the tensions and dish of the wheels have been checked by the team before installation.
Due to the high performance nature of this wheel set and the fact that final QC is best performed with tyres fitted these wheels now come with Schwalbe Pro Ones fitted as standard.
With a 21mm internal rim width, this all-new wheelset maximises the tyre profile with the widest clincher profile rim brakes can take.
Customer Reviews
Why 50mm?
A 50mm rim comes into its own on rolling roads and at higher average speeds. For the rouleur in you, the 50mm wheelset offers a great performance choice. The asymmetric profile provides for good spoke tension when lacing to offset hub flanges.
How much do the wheels weigh?
We know how people buy wheels and the weight is always a consideration due to the impact on bike performance. Oh and of course you just want the lightest wheels possible!
The PR50 wheelset weighs in at 1440g +/- 15g
Is there a weight limit?
As with all Pacenti hand built wheels there is no upper weight limit. If you are a larger rider, let's face it we aren't all grand tour climbers, then just drop us a line and discuss your concerns and riding style. We can then advise on the best wheel build for you
Hand-built in the UK
Tubeless-ready rim bed, the rim bed profile is designed for tubeless compatibility. Like all tubeless rims, it can also be used with inner tubes. The wheelset is supplied with Sram/Shimano compatible brake pads and a pair of snap-fit rim tapes, tubeless conversion requires a tubeless tape and valve kit. Designed and handbuilt in the UK. Tyre widths have changed in recent years and the trend has been to move upwards in terms of width. The PR50 really comes in to it's own with 25mm or 28mm tyre widths however they can be used with both 23mm or 30mm. In terms of tyre pressures this is all about personal feel, some like it soft, some like it hard. We never recommend a tyre pressure simply because of that personal choice. We always recommend being mindful of manufacturers suggested pressures.What's included?
