The release and use of this rim has stirred plenty of debate as to its ideal application. Some call it the best TT wheel they have ridden, to others their favorite crit wheel, cyclo-crossers swear by them, and road racing is a given. Where things get really interesting is that the rim is so light that some racers insist it should even be used for hill climbs. Given this wheel’s uncompromising cornering and aero performance, our pro racers report abnormal amounts of friction amongst team members as they vie for the opportunity to roll the 65s in their “A” priority races vs. other options. The cycling world may be a more harmonious place without the 65, but it certainly wouldn’t be as fast. Available as: 65 Clincher, 1.65 Tubular (Ultralight), and 2.65 Tubular (Standard). After you have chosen what’s best suited for your discipline, it’s clear you will love the “Founders Favorite”.

Warning:
when using Non-Locking brake holders, DO NOT apply the brakes while simultaneously rotating the wheel backwards.  Failure to do so may result in ejection of the brake pad resulting in serious harm, accident, bodily injury or death.

Note - Campy has redesigned their brake pad holder from 2010 (non-locking) to 2011 (locking). Make sure you are using the correct pad at all times.


"Wheels are extremely responsive in race situations, acceleration from corners and pace changes are excellent. The 65 rim used in TT was very stable in gusty cross winds in aero position. Tight."
