Complement your disc bike build with the Knight Composites 35 Tubeless Carbon Clincher Wheelset.

Constructed from aerospace-grade Toray carbon fibre and featuring Chris Kings R45 hubs, you can be sure of a stiff, lightweight construction and an unmatched ride feel. Utilising Knight's unique new rim profile, setting up tubeless is fast and simple, and Trailing Edge Aerodynamic Manipulation and the EPS Moulding System make for a highly aerodynamic and stable ride. Although aero optimised for tyres 25mm wide, tyres up to 32mm can also be fitted if you prefer, while SRAM and Shimano compatibility makes this wheelset suitable for many riders.

Knight Composites 35 Tubeless Aero Carbon Clincher Disc Chris King R45 Wheelset

Knight Composites are renowned for producing wheels constructed from top-quality materials and utilising their expertise in the field, and the 35 Tubeless Carbon Clincher Disc Chris King R45 Wheelset is no exception.

The unique patented TLA (Tubeless-Aero) profile rim is designed to remove the complexity involved in going tubeless. A centre channel and reduced wall height make this process as easy as fitting a clincher and inner tube and with no need for an air compressor, the tyres can be inflated using a standard track pump. A ‘hookless’ internal rim profile has double the sealing area compared to 'hooked' versions. Taking tubeless technology to the next level, you can take advantage of the benefits of this system on a set of full carbon wheels offering top performance.

Developed in collaboration with tyre manufacturer Schwalbe, the rim is optimised to offer the best aerodynamic performance with 25mm tyres, although tyres up to 32mm can be fitted. The mid-depth 35mm rim is perfect for tackling hills and mountains, yet is versatile enough for everyday riding and flat races alike.

EPS moulding ensures the inner rim surface is smooth and consistent, for reliable performance and longevity. This process, along with utilisation of aerospace-grade Toray carbon fibre, ensures weight is kept to a minimum while strength and stiffness is maximised.

Sapim CX Ray spokes connect the rim to the top-end Chris King R45 hub. Fast engagement combines with smooth rolling thanks to the legendary made-in-house stainless steel bearings. Shimano and SRAM 9,10 and 11-speed compatibility ensures many riders with a disc brake build will be able to take advantage of the performance benefits of this wheelset.
