<span>Ardennes Black takes therevolutionary Turbine Braking Technology of the Jet Black and applies itto our 25mm-wide Ardennes Plus clincher. Translation? 25% shorterstopping distances in dry conditions, and 70% shorter stopping distancesin wet conditions. Additionally, the consistency of stopping distanceshas improved by nearly a factor of five. That's not a typo.</span><br /><br /><span>Like all Ardennes Plus wheels, they're designed for maximum ride quality, rolling speed, stiffness, and tubeless compatibility.</span><br /><br /><span>The Ardennes Blackreplaces the Ardennes Plus FR, making it the top choice in the Ardennesline. Equipped with new black Sonic hubs, it's time to see and feel thebenefits of True Speed.</span><br /><br />NOTE: We highly recommend using brand new brake pads when switching toArdennes and Jet Black wheels. Old pads may contain metal flakes thatcan damage the rim finish.<br /><br /><ul> <li><strong>Rim Type</strong>Tubeless-ready clincher</li> <li><strong>Rim Depth</strong>24.5mm</li> <li><strong>Rim Width</strong>25mm</li> <li><strong>Internal Rim Width</strong>20.7mm</li> <li><strong>Braking Surface</strong>Turbine machined alloy</li> <li><strong>Recommended Brake Pad</strong>Standard alloy pad</li> <li><strong>Hub Model</strong>Hed Sonic black</li> <li><strong>Hub Compatibility</strong>Shimano 9, 10, 11</li> <li><strong>Build and Spokes</strong>18/24 std</li> <li><strong>Spoke Type</strong>Sapim CX-Ray black</li> <li><strong>Wheel size</strong>700c</li> <li><strong>Powertap Option</strong>YES</li> <li><strong>Track Option</strong>Yes</li> <li><strong>Wheel Set Weight</strong>1,445g</li> <li><strong>Recommended Tire Size</strong>22mm+</li> <li><strong>Includes</strong>Titanium Skewers,Tubeless Rim Tape</li></ul>
