For Immediate Release:?
PSIMET Custom Wheels Offers Expanded Cyclocross Range
Revolutionary Design Features Unique, Cross-Specific Gluing Profile
?(Elgin, IL. July 10, 2013)? PSIMET Wheels has announced an expanded line-up of their revolutionary cyclocross wheels for the 2013 season.? The new product line includes: the PSI-Clocross Ultimate 38W – Limited Edition; The Premium Race 38W, and the race 38W.
PSIMET owner Rob Curtis explained what makes the wheels unique in a market flooded with carbon wheel offerings, ?Our 38W offerings are truly designed for cyclocross.? Virtually every other wheel manufacturer uses road rims – with the same gluing profile that is standard for road tubulars.? With our 38W wheels we said – ?hey, maybe the gluing surface should change to match the specific requirements of the tires we are using for cross.?? Curtis continued, ?Our 38W wheels have a very specific gluing profile, created by 3-D modeling the actual profiles of Clement and Challenge cyclocross tubulars.? As a result, there is edge to edge contact between the base tape of the tire and the gluing surface of the rim.? Our wheels offer roughly 25% more actual rim to tire contact than with a? ZIPP 303.? Definitely something to consider that next time you diving into a corner across frozen ruts with only 20psi in your tires.?
The 2013 product offerings expand on the 2012 launch of the 38W.?? The PSI-Clocross Ultimate 38W-Limited Edition is one of the lightest high-performance cyclocross wheels to hit the market.? The PSI-Clocross Ultimate will feature the 38W Wheel laced to Alchemy ELF and ORC-UL hubs in a 20f/24r configuration with Sapim Cx Ray Spokes.? Lighter than ZIPP 303s, with more spokes for strength and cross-specific gluing surface, The PSI-Clocross Ulitmate-Limited edition will retail for $1,899.00.
