OWB Road Carbon Clincher Front Wheel 50mm Rim
Please note: This is a FRONT WHEEL ONLY
Carbon wheels without the carbon price tag. The QBC Carbon 50mm Wheelset is your straightforward path to a genuine performance upgrade - swapping out heavy alloy hoops for a lightweight carbon rim that makes a real, noticeable difference on every ride.
Built around a 50mm rim depth, these wheels offer a meaningful aerodynamic advantage over stock alloy wheels while remaining manageable in crosswinds - a solid all-round depth for Brisbane's varied riding conditions. The 31mm external / 26mm internal rim width is optimised for modern tyre sizes (28mm–32mm), giving you a better tyre profile, improved cornering stability, and a more comfortable ride.
Both wheels run 12mm thru-axle with centrelock disc rotor mounting - the current standard on modern road and gravel bikes - and are laced with 28 spokes for a dependable, serviceable build. The rear wheel is available in Shimano HG freehub configuration.
These are clincher rims, so you can run standard or tubeless-ready tyres depending on your setup.
