Here is a very current UCI list (note that neither Soul nor TWE wheels are on the list)

The Braccianos fall within the Cycling Australia definition of a standard wheel, that is a minimum of 16 spokes and made entirely of metal - thus they are not required to be UCI approved
see thread here viewtopic.php?f=9&t=39977
Definately fall within the definition of a standard wheel (I knew all those years studying law might be useful one day - who would have thought it would be something to do with interpretation of wheel standards)

ah, but TWE uses readily available rims i.e. reynolds and enve/edge composites which are on the approved listdobby wrote:Here is a very current UCI list (note that neither Soul nor TWE wheels are on the list)
In fact Greg (TWE) sponsors and supplies wheels to a number of national pro teams

I hope he has changed them in the last 2 years.
Great guy and i'd buy from him again
No other person has helped me as much as he did when it came to building my own set of wheels.
Some guys just love what they do and are willing to share their professional expertise

I have a set of Krysilium SL's which I use for everything. I have race mates with multiple wheels but I can go just as quick on one set!RobRollin wrote:Having raced, in Tassie Barry you need a few sets of wheels, I would recommend a 30-40mm set for windy days and a 50mm carbon set for ideal conditions and maybe a deep set for time trialling.

I believe my TWE wheels use Alex crostini rims. You'd think nearly a grand for a set of alex rims was insane, but for the stiffness strength and lack of weight they offer, and gregs unending assistance and warranty, they're great value ( I did spec the hubs and spokes with top shelf bits too that added a bit btw)JV911 wrote:ah, but TWE uses readily available rims i.e. reynolds and enve....dobby wrote:Here is a very current UCI list (note that neither Soul nor TWE wheels are on the list)

Greg at TWE made me a pair of 50mm full carbon clinchers with DT Swiss Aero spokes and smooth (but loud) hubs 20F / 24R 1,380gr (actual weight) for $1,700 plus courier delivery with greg's famous 'lifetime repair' warranty.but lets say i want change from 3k for the set
I use them as my every day ride, no issues after a couple of thou. km. They ride beautifully, roll forever..... blah blah blah and are every bit as good as old mate from down the road with 2010 404's fitted to the same bike as mine.

Heck - I'm like a broken record..... Greg, where's my cheque..........

hmmmm. I am off zipp. I have flashpoints (made by zipp), they are awesome wheels but the zipp warranty is questionable. I found a defect on the wheels I only use them racing and had only done a dozen races if that. Zipp said not covered their warranty is any defect from brack line to rim is not covered by warranty. Luckily have found someone to fix it.BarryTas wrote:been offered a set of zipp 404s for 2k
