Flo Cycling Wheels (Page 5)

Chris, any chance you guys are going to do a wheel/brake pad combo?

Our wheels will feature aluminum brake tracks so no special brake pad should be required.  Unless you are already running a carbon brake track pad then I would think you'd have to convert back.

I'm hoping that answers your question.  Let me know if it didn't.

If our CFD testing is at all correct our wind tunnels tests should be great.  We'll be posting the data as soon as possible.

Thanks for the support,

Sorry, I was improperly referring to if you guys did a black anodized braking surface.  More of a question IF you would need different pads for that.

You guys going to throw a wider sticker on the rear wheel at production or stick to the same front and rear?  What about different color sticker options?  You may have already answered this question, so if you did, I apologize.

I'm sorry to tell you but these wheels are not recommended for Cyclo Cross.  

Even the Clydesdale version??

Thank you!  Yes they will fit nicely!

Unfortunately no.  The construction of the wheel would not handle mud very well.  

Chris, any plans for an every day wheel like a 30-40 mm that will be a bit lighter, but still aero?

Yes.  We will be selling a "training" wheel that will be our wide aluminum rim only.  That wheel will feature the same hubs and spokes as our race wheels.  It will be somewhere between 25-30mm deep.  It won't be terribly aero.  But it's a training wheel so that won't be all that important.  

Thanks for the interest,

Hi Chris,

Do you have a optimistic/realistic month to be receiving wheels ? I am specifically looking for the disc wheel.

I can add up the worst case scenarios late Q2 start pre-order+x months pre-order + 90days....but I suspect it will be much better than that

Is there a good shot of getting them for this racing season.

thanks

I can't give you exact details right now.  If all goes perfectly I can see the pre-order happening in May.  Trust me.  We want this company off the ground just as bad as many of you guys.  We are just making sure that we release a quality product.  You only get one shot at making a first impression.  If the pre-order happens in May I think you would be in good shape for getting your wheels for a mid to late season race.

I hope that helps,

so will there be a 90mm front?  or just the 60?

god i can't wait for the disc, i will be buying for sure.

Haha.  Thank you for the compliment!  I agree... I think our wheels would compliment your bike nicely as well

We will be selling the following wheels...

60mm front and rear

90mm front and rear

Disc

Training/Climbing Wheels with our wide brake track rim.

Special Edition wheels that support athletically minded charitable organizations.  (This is 95% finalized.  More details to come on this.  We are very excited about this.)

Thanks for the interest,

more then interest, can't wait, only issue i might have is i have a PT so that might have to go in order to get quarq....

We'd have to dig into the details on that but... off the top of my head that seems reasonable.  

Take care,

For the record I own a Quarq and love it.  They are really great power meters.  Nothing against PT... they also make great products and have great customer service.
