Can someone explain to me what 2-way fit is in regards to wheel. Whats the advantage / disadvantage?

I'll take a wild guess.

Dropout width and wheel diameter?


a second wild guess would be related to tires... the fit defined by the chain stays and the break bridge that would describe the tires that are possible.

2-way-fit is campagnolo's nomenclature for tubeless wheels. they are clincher wheels that can run either standard clincher tires and tubes, or tubeless tires, hence the "2 way" part.

the advantages are just as above, you can run them either way, clincher tires, or clincher tubeless tires. they are sealed, so you dont need a rim strip either way.

Means whatever tire you try to put on, it'll be a pain in the rear.

I can put Veloflex Corsa on by hand on my 2-Way Fit Zonda wheels. Tubeless tires, on the other hand, are another story.

pretty much and just pray you never have to remove a tubeless tire from the 2-way fit on a wet 30 degree day. Forget about it...

He's referring to his own WAG as not being close.

I knew I was missing the obvious, don't you hate it when that happens!

I have a pair of CAMPAGNOLO Eurus and use the Hutchinson Intensive 25ers and they shure do ride close to a tubular

and

I have a pair of King R45s with STANS Alpha 340 also using the Hutchinson Intensive 25ers with pretty much the same result

I like the CAMPAGNOLO/FULCRUM 2-Way-Fit ones for their easier handling

So far never encoutered a problem regarding flats

:rolleyes:
