Need help; Cane Creek Aros58
 
I was just browsing the forums late week and popped into a bike with some cool wheels namely the Cane Creek Aros 58 with blue decals.
I cannot find it anymore. :mad:
Does anyone has any experience with these wheels?
I checked with my local reseller and he can get those wheels although they are extremely rare in Europe.
If you have a photos, please post (especially blue).

Any help appreciated.

I assume you're talking about this:

The decals are custom. He's over at weightweenies, so you might want to ask him about the wheels and where he got the decals made.

OMG, that's the one.....
This is just a perfect combination between frame and wheels.

Thanks for the info?

must be a record :)

It's clearly Dura Ace. :D

PS: He goes by RacerBoy on the WeightWeenies forum.

They are rebadged Zipp rims I believe, the older non dimpled style. You can find them pretty regularly on Ebay.

they are not custom, you can get the colors right from canecreek.com's online store

That is correct; they are essentially older 404 rims (the 360 rim, to be completely accurate).

Cool to know Cane Creek offers a way to coordinate colours.

At least I got the bike correct on the first try.

190 lbs according to them...a pretty poor limitation.

Why do you consider it poor? Based on the notoriety of zipp rims cracking I’d say it’s an excellent recommendation so people don’t delude themselves into thinking the carbon rims will hold up to their weight.

So let me see, 190lbs=86.18kg.
That's a close call for me :rolleyes:
