Boras get fat

[thirdgenbird]

Boras are getting wider and shamals are getting a "carbon pad" compatible brake surface.

I'm a fan of custom wheels, but both of those look very desirable.

I assumed that the release of the Bora 35 would result in a glut of Bora 50 used wheels. I hope this leads to a glut of narrow-Bora sales. Narrow Boras... Who even rides those any more?

I'm holding out for the wider Bora 35.

[christian]

That was announced too.

I've heard rumor the shamal is 24mm well. If so, swapping from carbon to alloy will be easy. Same pads, same width.

Me too. Can't wait for folks to upgrade to wide and the narrow get dumped

[AngryScientist]

the wide wheel craze is so wildly overblown.

Quiet you.

I think all bora owners should upgrade. Liquidate their narrow wheels at low prices...

I agree. They're practically worthless.

Useless

Man, a few weeks ago I got (what I thought was) a ridiculously good deal on a pair of Bora Ultra 35 dark labels. Perhaps now I know why...

I guess I should just give them to you now, christian, and not bother to even glue tires on them...

I'll hold my thoughts till they show the profiles of the new Bora. It doesn't take an aerodynamicist or wind tunnel to recreate a foil with 85-90% effectiveness.
