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 R Discus Plus C30W Stealth Rear Wheel.

The first thing is material. Looking at what 3T R Discus Plus C30W Stealth Rear Wheel 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 R Discus Plus C30W Stealth Rear Wheel 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 R Discus Plus C30W Stealth Rear Wheel reviews there.

  • Description: 3T R Discus Plus C30W Stealth Rear WheelThe Discus Plus blends the aerodynamics of a top-class road wheel with the durability of a hard-wearing MTB wheel to give you a super-fast gravel racer for an advantage on the off-road. Adapting the ever-popular 650b size to a sharp 28mm-deep carbon fibre rim, this wheel offers a lightweight and versatile performance that makes it a perfect match for gravel riding.Tubeless-Ready and Disc Brake CompatibleThe wide 34mm rim allows this front wheel to roll smoothly over any loose-packed surface, and with its tubeless-ready design, you can adopt extra-wide tyres for an improved experience. Plus, the disc brake compatibility gives you the precision stopping power necessary to take sharp corners while retaining your speed advantage.Features: Material: Carbon Use: Road, Gravel Type: Clincher Rim Depth: 28mm Rim Width: 34mm (outer), 28mm (inner) Spokes: Steel, Straight-pull Spoke Count: 24 Hubs: Aluminium Freehub: Shimano Brake Type: Disc Brake (Centre Lock) Single or Pair: Single Tubeless Ready: Yes Part Number: 3T5129CXBD41W Weight: 870g (approx)Technologies: WIDE PROFILE: Wide tyres need a wide rim to prevent excessive lateral tyre roll and improve cornering. The Discus Plus PRO TEAM wheels exploit the lightweight carbon properties with a 28mm inner width. OFFSET SPOKES: Discus Plus wheels use offset spokes to compensate for the space required for the brake rotor (and in the case of the rear wheel, the cassette). This allows the spoke angle and thus the spoke tension to be more equal left and right. EXPOSED NIPPLES: The Discus Plus wheels are designed to be bombproof. In case you encounter a tree crossing the trail or any other unlikely event requires a quick fix on the go, the Discus Plus uses exposed nipples for easy access. STRAIGHT PULL DESIGN: Straight pull spokes are stronger and lighter. They are more expensive due to the extra effort in machining the hubs, but it’s well worth the investment to ensure that spoke breakage is all but eliminated. MULTI-AXLE: Our hubs are compatible with 5mm quick releases, 12mm thru axles and even with a 15mm front thru axle. Just swap out the end caps depending on the frame design you use the wheels in.Buy 3T Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
