Question:

Road Bike & Triathlon Wheels?

Can you put triathlon bike wheels on a road bike (if they're even the same size)? How much can it help? Is the only reason road bikes don't sell stock with those wheels because of UCI ruling (other than their cost of course)?

Answer:

micro fiber is a synthetic thread woven or knitted into a fabricterry cloth is a fabric usually woven in plain weave (one under one over) and leaving loops on top and bottom of the warp as the weft is pulled throughThe weft yarn is highly energized so it doesn't pull through completely so as to make a smooth fabric That all probably doesn't make that much sense to you, tho! warp is the threads that are put on the loom going from front fabric beam to back thread beamweft is the threads that are placed under and over across the warp and hammered into place simple, plain or tabby weave is one under one over or 2 under 2 overthen there are the fancier warpings that make patterns on the fabric surface, jacard, birds eye, etcthat all have different spacings in the shedd to throw the shuttle through to make the patterns terry can be woven from many different fiberscotton and micro fiber are just 2 of them.
Axel Are your wheels good nowThey are aluminum, so should be pretty lightThe thing about the tri wheels is their profile, and weight / strengthMany of the tri wheels, especially those that are disksit that they catch air and make them impossible to control in moderate windsSome of them are very light, and are used ONLY in competitionThey cannot hold up to daily riding and trainingSo caveat emptorbuyer bewareSoccerref
