Reserve Wheels 77|88 Rims

No, the Reserve 77|88 rims are designed exclusively for disc brake setups. They do not feature a brake track for rim calipers.

These are tubeless-ready rims, which means you can use them with a tubeless setup for better puncture protection and lower rolling resistance. However, they are also fully compatible with traditional clincher tires and inner tubes if you prefer that setup.

Despite their deep profile, these rims are engineered specifically for stability in crosswinds. The rim shape is designed to minimize the steering torque caused by side winds, making them much more predictable than older, V-shaped deep-section wheels.

The maximum recommended tire pressure for these rims is 100 psi (6.9 bar). Always check your tire manufacturer's recommendations as well, as your specific tire choice may have a lower pressure limit.

Each rim comes with the necessary rim tape and nipple washers to get your build started, along with a user manual for assembly guidance.

While they are optimized for time trials, triathlons, and flat-road racing, their high lateral stiffness makes them durable enough for regular training. Just keep in mind that the deep profile is most beneficial at higher speeds where aerodynamic efficiency matters most.
