3T Discus C35 Team Stealth Wheelset features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Wheels. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of 3T Discus C35 Team Stealth Wheelset.

The first thing is material. Looking at what 3T Discus C35 Team Stealth Wheelset is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Wheels. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Wheels. Brands like 3T are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Wheels category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Comparing Prices

Price, as you would imagine, is the most popular reason for someone buying one product over another. It is the single most important factor in choosing the majority of products we buy. The same goes for Wheels.

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for. Then match that to your own personal circumstance and how much you can afford to spend. This will really help you in narrowing down the right product for you.

3T Discus C35 Team Stealth Wheelset Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the 3T Discus C35 Team Stealth Wheelset reviews there.

You can run these wheels at a lower inflation pressure for better rider comfort and endurance with no penalty to speed.Team Stealth wheels have all-carbon-fibre rims and up-to-date aerodynamic profiles, so you won’t be slowed by wind drag or thrown offline by gusts.The 3T linear+ system unites the best all-round techniques for building robust, responsive and lightweight wheels which in normal use will give you years of riding pleasure.Full-Aero Wider Rims3T Discus wheels have 25mm rims which are the new, wider standard for today’s breed of fatter, lightweight tyres.A wider rim lets you run the latest race-weight tyres at lower pressure. The tyre’s wider, shorter contact patch with the road surface gives you more grip and comfort than traditional narrow tyres at high inflation pressures.At the same time, 3T rims are aerodynamically profiled for low drag at typical yaw angles.This means with Discus wheels you get;More comfortBetter handling controlLess rolling resistanceReduced incidence of puncturesLow and stable wind dragLinear+ Optimised Build3T linear+ system optimises all-round build quality. Discus wheels have straight spokes that run directly from hub to nipple. Spoke ends locate perfectly square in the purpose-designed hubs; and at the nipple end, the rim drillings are angled perfectly in line with the spoke.Nipples are internal, so rim drillings are no wider than needed to pass the spoke through. This benefits strength, appearance, and aerodynamics. Nipples are screwed on upside-down, bearing on the rim’s internal surface via a cup washer. This distributes the load evenly on the rim so spokes can safely be done up tighter.Compared with traditional wheels built with J-bend spokes, 3T linear+ have;Better load distribution Better spoke alignment Less drag Better durabilityAsymmetric RimThe 3T Linear+ system is further enhanced in some models by asymmetric rims.Front wheels with disc brakes, as well as rear wheels (with or without discs), have off-centre hub flanges. On one side the spokes are at a steeper bracing angle, so they must be tensioned more. The 3T asymmetric rim compensates for this by reducing the difference in bracing angle between the two sides.Spoke tensioning is more equal to either side, making a better-performing, more resilient wheelset with better lateral stiffness. Linear+ ensures that rim drillings are perfectly aligned to meet these demanding mechanical requirements.Both the 58mm and 32mm rims have an asymmetric structure and double-angled spoke drillings, for a perfectly balanced wheelset. Additionally, 3T Discus hubs have double-cross spokes on both sides. Opposite spokes on the same side are perpendicular to each another, so directly opposed. This equalises spoke load under torque for better power transfer without spoke wind-up, a key benefit when braking is effected at the hub, as well as when accelerating.Taken together, these measures result in;Reduced wheel dish Reduced L-R spoke-tension difference Greater lateral strength Optimal torque transfer Minimal spoke wind-up when braking and acceleratingModular Hub Spindles3T Discus hubs have a light-alloy, oversize spindle with modular end-caps. The modular end-caps allow you to easily change from quick-release to thru-axle, and back again. You can use your 3T wheelset on several bikes of different configurations:Front: QR 100 mm or TA 15 x 100 mmRear: QR 135 mm; TA 135 x 12 mm; TA 142 x 12 mmAdvanced Carbon-Fibre Technology3T’s mastery of carbon-fibre design and manufacture means production of the most advanced rims in the business.3T Discus rims are constructed with top-grade carbon-fibre, with proprietary resins custom-formulated for each product.Manufacture involves high-accuracy lamination and high-pressure, low-temperature, long-cycle curing times. Production flow is traced from raw materials to finished product for end-to-end quality assurance.As a result, 3T rims have;Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio Superb impact resistance Extended service lifeBuy¬†3T Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
