Two bicycle wheels are displayed side by side against a white background. The wheels feature black rims with a blue accent on the outer edge. The spokes are metallic and intricately arranged, and the hubs are black. The wheels are positioned at an angle, showcasing their structure and design. Zinn Cycles recently released their Clydesdale Pro 32-inch carbon wheelset, giving buyers a lighter-weight choice when it comes to big bike wheels. The 32″ wheel standard got a boost late last year when word got out that Maxxis was testing a 32×2.4″ Aspen mountain bike tire, which may or may not see the light of day.
The $1,425 Clydesdale Pro 32-inch wheelset features tubeless-ready, 36-hole Nextie carbon rims with a 30mm inner diameter, ideal for mountain bike tires in the 2.3-2.6″ range. The wheelset is said to weigh about 2,400g, a full kilogram lighter than the aluminum-rim Zinn Clydesdale Sport wheels. Still, that’s heavier than a typical carbon 29er wheelset in part because Zinn specs 36 spokes to account for higher (tall) rider weights. However, the carbon Nextie rims are also sold in 28- and 32-hole versions, and 36″ diameters as well.
Buyers can customize the Zinn Clydesdale Pro wheels with various axle widths, and hub upgrades are available too.
