It 'just have the new circle LEW Racing Pro VT-1 tubular, with which we assemble a pair of wheel hubs and Sapim Laser Extralite UltraHubs. The total weight came in at just 960 grams per pair . A result of absolute value when you consider that the circle has a ' height of 46mm.
There are two main new feature introduced with this circle
1) use of carbon and boron for the construction. Boron is a material clearly stiffer than carbon, but also much more expensive. This justifies the high price of the circles and the fact that it is not used by other manufacturers;
2) do not need specific brake pads . You can use regular brake pads for aluminum wheels, with a very powerful and modular braking. If you look at the PRO VT-1 as the wheels on race par excellence, the fact of not having to use specific brake pads allows you to switch from training wheels to the race without time to change brake pads. In the long run there is also a significant cost savings because we know that the brake pads for carbon is expensive and wear out very quickly. One of the first lucky
to test these wheels was an athlete who runs the race of most national and international level always placed in the first 20/30 on the podium and absolute category. Below reporting what we wrote via e-mail after a very thorough test of the wheels, which culminated with the "double-San Marco" as he calls it: do you mean Passo San Marco (1.985m asl) faced coming from Bergamo (22km climb) down to Morbegno and increased again for another 26km to the Passo San Marco.
We have intentionally omitted the names of the other wheels mentioned, replace the XXXXX to do no wrong to anyone
LEW RACING WHEEL BEHAVIOUR
1. PLAIN - JOINT
I would say perfect, amazing how raising the pace to get in a few seconds at a preset speed ... Besides this, they are straight as the two swords.
2. CLIMB
Again, the vote is high, you feel the slightest buzz-noise, are pretty straight and not bend to the shots-raises respond that it is a wonder.
3. DESCENT
sulted in straight from God take the path straight. I tried to leave the hands to discard a finger, unlike the XXXXX these seem to run a guide ... are straight, at 60-65 km / h.
Braking is pretty tough, if you squeeze the levers at the bottom, it is likely to nail the wheels ... it takes a little more sensitivity, and custom ... After descending to
Morbegno, ie after at least 26 km of descent, I put my fingers on the braking zone ... slightly warm, nothing to do with the hot zone that can be seen on XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX, XXXXX.
This was really a pleasant surprise, it means that dissipates heat ...
4. OVERALL ASSESSMENT
largely positive, read at the right point, stiff, precise cornering, raises fabulous descents without problems and after 240km of tough tracks are still perfectly centered.
