Best road bike wheels 2023: Aero options for a faster ride

From CyclingNews.com

By Josh Croxton

The best road bike wheels can make your bike faster and lighter

The best road bike wheels can transform your ride, offering increased stiffness and speed whilst also often lowering weight. Although check out our guide to the best lightweight wheels if you’re looking for the lowest possible weight.

Our picks of the best road bike wheels mix aerodynamics, usually with low weight though. It’s generally thought that a 40-50mm rim depth provides the best balance between aerodynamic efficiency, lower weight and crosswind stability, but if you’re looking for a deeper wheelset or a disc rear wheel, check out our guide to the best triathlon wheels.

Alternatively, we’ve got a guide to the best gravel bike wheels if your riding takes in mixed surfaces.

A wheel’s aero performance isn’t always easy to compare against other wheels, but we’ve taken ten top aero wheels to the wind tunnel to see which is the fastest. We’ve also tested three new sets of aero wheels head-to-head. Also, read our guide to the best road bike tyres to make sure that you’re getting the most out of your wheels.

Bike Works to raise funds for Lahaina

From WestHawaiiToday.com

Kailua-KONA — Grant Miller, owner of Bike Works Kona, Bike Works Beach &Sport, and Bike Works Mauka, announced today that all three shops will be accepting donations in the form of bikes, in addition to hosting a community ride Sunday.

The bike drive will meet the ongoing need that families who lost their homes and belongings in the Lahaina fire have for transportation and recreation. Gently used, “in working condition” bikes can be dropped off at Bike Works Kona, Bike Works Beach &Sport in Waikoloa, or Bike Works Mauka in Kamuela during normal business hour.

“Whether it’s a kid’s bike or adult’s, we will spruce it up. And once we fill the container, we’ll send it off to Lahaina.” said Miller.

“When someone suffers in Hawaii, we all feel it. In the bike industry, we help others by getting people on bikes,” said Aaron “Moose” Reichert, the owner of Krank Cycles in Makawao on Maui, whose own business was damaged by a fire in January. “That’s why we provided a family who had lost everything and was living in someone else’s home with bicycles. The parents shared that their children had been overwhelmed since the fire. However, within days of receiving the bikes, they noticed a remarkable change. The bikes were the first step towards reclaiming a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos.”
