Product Information

Full details

The Campagnolo Bora WTO C23 Disc Brake Wheels 45mm are designed for demanding cyclists seeking a blend of speed, stability, control, and aerodynamics. This wheelset excels in high-speed performance due to its refined carbon layup and aerodynamic rim profile, offering a significant reduction in weight over previous models. A potential caveat for some users might be the proprietary N3W freehub standard, requiring specific compatibility considerations.

FAQs

What is the benefit of the G3 spoke lacing?

The G3 lacing geometry creates a perfect, balanced tension across the wheel, resulting in increased rigidity, exceptional power transfer, improved load bearing, and reduced vibrations and rim deformations.

Can I use these wheels with both clincher and tubeless tires?

Yes, the Campagnolo Bora WTO C23 features 2-Way Fit (2WF) technology, allowing you to choose between traditional clincher setups or tubeless configurations.

What freehub bodies are compatible with these wheels?

The wheels come with an N3W aluminium freehub. Adapters are available separately for SRAM XDR and Shimano HD11 freehub bodies.

What is the weight limit for the rider and bike?

The maximum recommended weight limit for the rider and bike combined is 115kg.

What type of braking system do these wheels use?

These wheels are designed for disc brake systems using the AFS (Centerlock) mount.

What makes the carbon layup unique?

The carbon is laced with a single point of construction, unlike the industry standard four points, which eliminates weak points. The carbon fibers are oriented to flow around spoke holes for increased strength.

What is included in the box?

The box contains the wheelset, a tubeless valve, a bushing to reduce the valve hole size, two composite levers for tire removal, and a user manual.

Troubleshooting

Wheel does not spin freely

Check for proper bearing adjustment or contamination. Clean and re-grease USB ceramic bearings if necessary, or consult a qualified mechanic.

Tire is difficult to mount or does not seat properly

Ensure you are using a compatible tire size. For tubeless, check the rim tape and ensure it is correctly applied. Use a bit of soapy water on the tire bead to aid seating. Ensure correct inflation technique.

Brake rotor alignment issue

Verify the AFS rotor mount is correctly installed and that the wheel is seated fully in the dropouts. Check for frame or fork alignment issues.

Spoke appears loose

Do not attempt to tension spokes yourself unless you have experience with G3 lacing. Consult a Campagnolo-certified mechanic to ensure correct tension and balance are maintained.

Care:

  • Clean rims and spokes regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • After riding in wet or muddy conditions, rinse the wheels and allow them to dry.
  • Inspect spokes for tension and integrity periodically.
  • Check bearings for smooth rotation and re-grease if necessary, following Campagnolo's service guidelines.
  • When removing tires, use the provided composite levers to avoid damaging the rim.
