Reynolds 58 Aero and 72 Aero clinchers review

Reynolds 58 aero and 72 aero
Cycling Weekly Verdict

The weight, 1,147g for the front and 1,530g for the rear when fully dressed with Challenge Forte 23c clinchers, standard inner tubes, skewers and an Ultegra 10spd cassette, isn't too shabby. They're an awesome set of wheels, but the price means they're out of realistic reach for most of us.

With the shallower 58 Aero at the front and the deeper 72 Aero at the back, the stability was impressive.
