Loading... Please wait...If you like a little more depth to your arsenal the 58mm carbon tubulars are a great option. For riders who are doing faster average speeds the depth of a 58mm rim can really be of assistance. Flat to rolling road races and criteriums are a great time to showcase a wheel that will save you energy with every pedal stroke. This wheelset is what most of the Globalbike team chooses for the majority of their races.
With all Boyd Cycling carbon wheels, Sapim CX Ray spokes are standard, and the wheels come with 20 spokes on the front and 24 spokes on the rear.
As with all carbon rims, the use of carbon specific brake pads is very highly recommended. Use of non-carbon brake pads can damage the rims and will void the warranty. Swisstop brake pads are available for purchase with this wheelset for a reduced price with no added cost for
shipping.

* About weight limits. Weight limit really depends on the type of riding you are doing as well as the terrain. A rider in Florida is going to have different stresses on a wheel than somebody using the wheels in the mountains of California. We put these numbers out as guidelines, they are not strict limits. Depending on your riding style the weight limit may be different than what we have listed. If you have any questions about weight limit please feel free to contact us.

I have used them in Criterium/ Training and climbing events. Great wheel. They are light enough to climb with and aero. I also use the front on my TT bike with an 88 rear.

I've had a set of Boyd 58mm tubulars for 2 years. They are my go-to wheelset for any race. They are light enough to climb quickly and aero enough to feel fast on flat road courses. In criteriums, they accelerate quickly out of turns. During the fall, I replace the road tires with knobbies and race cyclocross on them. If I could have just one set of race wheels, these would be my choice.
As far as durability, I have raced over 80 events on these wheels including 20-25 cyclocross races. I once flatted a road tire in a pothole that cut the tire practically in half. The rim remained true, not even a chip. During cyclocross season, they survived many muddy events without failure. I've trued them a couple times, just a quarter turn on a spoke or two, but other than that, they have been maintenance free.
