Why do I need it?
Track racing is often a one speed, all out racing that rarely lasts longer than 20 minutes. It's an adrenaline fueled effort where you burn all your matches and you want a wheelset that will not slow down. The 80mm Track Tubular is built for pure fast aero speed.
Tubular tires and rims remain the gold standard at the velodrome. The low system weight, amazing ride quality and absolute security can't be matched.
Centerlock cogs reduce the time and tools required for gear changes to a few seconds with a lockring tool you probably already own. A welcome design change if you've ever wrestled with a chain whip and a stubborn threaded cog, or slipped a tool off an old-school lockring.
This handcrafted wheel is laced with Pillar Wing20 j-bend spokes and brass nipples. Two cross lacing pattern built to withstand the loads of diving up and down the banks of the velodrome, and a 80mm rim depth provides the best aerodynamic gains possible. This wheel spins on BOYD's innovative CL-TK Track hubs, featuring both a standard and a new centerlock track cog mounting interface. This track specific wheelset weighs in at 1880g and is ready for your next all out battle.
Track Hubs
Boyd Cycling found a way to innovate on a fixed gear track hub by offering a smooth rolling hub, with a brand new way of mounting the track cog.
The hub features a flip-flop style with standard track threading on one side and a centerlock track interface on the other.
Centerlock cogs reduce the time and tools required for gear changes to a few seconds with a lockring tool you probably already own. A welcome design change if you've ever wrestled with a chain whip and a stubborn threaded cog, or slipped a tool off an old-school lockring.

Tubular tires and rims remain the gold standard at the velodrome. The low system weight, amazing ride quality and absolute security can't be matched. Look around to any professional track race and tubular tires are the only type of tire you'll see.
