Blackink Five Disc All Road Wheels Tire Shim

PAIR OF BLACKINC FIVE DISC ALL ROAD WHEELS SHIMANO TIRE

The Black Inc FIVE carbon spoke wheelset is a hand-built, all-carbon wheel set that represents the epitome of Black Inc's engineering and design capabilities. Featuring a specially designed one-piece rim and spoke construction, the FIVE is a lightweight wheelset that also offers aerodynamic benefits that only heavier, deep profile wheels can match.

Weighing in at just 1,318 grams, this lightweight, clincher and tubeless ready wheelset delivers exceptional aerodynamic performance, thanks in large part to the NACA optimized spokes, rims and hubs. The one-piece wheel structure was developed using CFD software to improve performance over a traditional medium-depth steel spoke wheelset. The aerodynamic performance, given the modest 30mm rim profile, is a testament to the efficiency of the design. The Kamm tail shape of the spokes provides an aerodynamic advantage that neither round nor finned steel spokes could ever provide. The minimal rim cross-section prevents unstable deflection due to crosswinds.

In addition, the carbon structure is designed to ensure lateral stiffness while providing a unique level of compliance. This ensures both lively handling and a high level of comfort. Thanks to the use of advanced materials by Toray’s carbon experts, with the added benefit of Nippon Graphite Pitch-Based fiber, the FIVE offers exceptional responsiveness when accelerating combined with vibration damping to make the FIVE much more comfortable and compliant than it looks.

Using a tubeless compatible clincher rim means the Black Inc FIVE are as practical and easy to maintain as they are high-performance and cutting-edge. The 21mm internal diameter pairs perfectly with wider tyres and is optimised for 25-28mm tyres. The hubs have been exclusively designed and manufactured in-house, specifically for the FIVE wheel. The black anodised aluminium machined hub has been specially developed with a mechanical and chemical retention seal to improve durability and service life. Thanks to the Black Inc + CeramicSpeed ​​long-life bearings, the hubs offer extremely low rolling resistance and exceptional durability. This disc brake only wheelset uses a centre-lock brake tab and a 100mm x 12mm thru-axle at the front and a 142mm x 12mm thru-axle at the rear.

The Black Inc FIVE Tubeless Disc Brake Compatible Wheelset has been designed to deliver exceptional performance for long rides and fast training sessions. Designed to be used as a set, the FIVE front wheel can also be paired with the Black Inc ZERO Disc Rear Wheel for the ultimate time trial or triathlon setup.
