fyi this wheel is not carbon, you may want to remove it from the ad incase someone decides to get nasty.

What are they made of then, everything I have read is that they are a carbon/ resin composite

Aerospokes, I’m fairly certain, are cnc machined Aluminium.

Nuh ahh - they’re made of happiness and sunshine! and totally vegan friendly!

Pretty sure they’re an aluminum rim with carbon spokes - the hubs are greased with hipster tears…

Is that why mine isn’t spinning that well, I haven’t been around enough teary hipsters?

Anyway, google tells me…

Aerospoke wheels are made of a carbon composite material, not carbon fiber. It’s carbon, but not woven. It’s mixed with glue and made in a mold, like plastic. Basically, it’s like plastic.

Yep they are carbon composite.

They also have a Velocity Aerohead (aluminium) rim embedded, for holding onto the tire & providing a braking surface.

As far as I’m aware they are the deepest rim available with a braking surface, happy to be proved wrong though…

This has a carbon/ceramic braking surface and is a little bit deeper than a Aerospoke.

even a standard deep v would be ‘deeper’ than an aerospoke

Nah, my Aerospoke is deeper than my Deep V.

couldnt be much difference though :wink:
