Race Carbon Rims

We have built enough BMX race wheel sets here at LUXBMX to really form an understanding of the advantages, or both performance and practicality, of carbon fibre BMX race rims. First off they are super strong and can withstand the biggest hits, but the surprising attribute is that we rarely see wheels built with carbon rims requiring truing. Their ability to put up with the day to day abuse of riding and training sessions has amazed and we now find that the BMX racing public has gotten the message, while carbon rims at the outset are more expensive than alloy rims, their return on outlay comes back really fast as not only is there virtually no downtime with them, they last a long time, meaning that for the youngsters on the skinny 451 rims, they can explore the limits as they learn to jump and manual without fear of rim damage.

For the older riders on pro sized wheels, the strength of carbon fibre rims is also a positive attribute as you move up into jumping the big stuff, but the stiffness of a carbon fibre rim also sees higher corner speeds attainable without deflection of the wheel thanks to the increased wheel strength provided by a carbon rim.

Talking about stiffness, for the cruiser rider on a bigger diameter wheel, this increase in strength and stiffness is a real bonus, as is their ability to take the big, big hits that the more mature racer tends to dish out to their bikes.
