CADEX Tubular Rear

No, this is a dedicated tubular wheelset. It is designed exclusively for use with tubular tires that must be glued or taped to the rim bed.

The wheel features a custom-tuned brake track and specific pad compound designed to provide consistent, reliable stopping power. While it performs well across conditions, it is still a rim-brake system, so you should anticipate slightly longer stopping distances in the wet compared to disc brakes.

This rear wheel uses a standard 130mm quick-release axle spacing. It is compatible with most traditional rim-brake road frames, but you should verify your frame's rear dropout spacing before purchasing.

While deep-section wheels can be sensitive to gusts, this model is engineered with a specific rim profile to maintain stability in shifting winds. It balances aerodynamic efficiency with predictable handling, making it suitable for varied riding conditions rather than just calm days.

The hub is compatible with Shimano HG cassettes. It utilizes a reliable ratchet driver mechanism to ensure efficient power transfer and quick engagement.

The aero carbon spokes are integrated into the wheel's structural design for stiffness and weight savings. If a spoke is damaged, the wheel should be serviced by a professional mechanic or returned to an authorized dealer, as replacing them requires specific tensioning expertise.
