Set

The Bola 700C 3-spoke carbon tubeless front wheel - a lightweight 3-spoke aero front, 28mm outer / 22mm internal, ~800g, with a 36T ratchet hub, for triathlon, TT and track.

A featherweight three-bladed arrow for the front of a race bike - light enough to flick, slippery enough to hold a pace line at speed.

Buying Guide.

Racing role: a light, nimble aero front for TT, triathlon and track - three blades that spin up fast rather than a deep, heavy statement.

Profile choice: pick it when you want aero gains without the heavy inertia of a 180mm front; it favours rolling as much as flat courses.

Hub engagement: the quick ratchet hub responds instantly to surges.

Family comparison: the 3-spoke wave front ($650) runs deeper and wavier; the 3-spoke 180mm front ($490) is the deep cheap option.

Front wheel; tubeless race tyres, respect the system weight limit.

Target Audience & Usage Notes.

triathletes, TT and track riders wanting a light, manageable aero front.

Front wheel; disc brake, Center Lock, 12x100 front. 26-38c tubeless tyres.

Shimano/SRAM.

The Ride That Awaits.

Out of a fast corner the light front lifts and turns eagerly, the 36T hub clicking in as you surge - three blades that feel more like a gesture than a heavy wing.

It lets you flick the bike where a deep front would argue.

Free shipping and a 2-year wheelset warranty bring peace of mind.

Trade-offs & Considerations
Aero vs Crosswind: The 45mm 3-spoke front saves about 3.5W versus a 25mm spoked front at 40km/h while staying calm at 10° yaw; the fixed blade is noticeably less twitchy than a deeper 80mm 3-spoke on windy training rides.
Weight vs Stiffness: At 800g the monoblade front is laterally stiff for sprint efforts, with no spoke tension to true; the fixed blade trades a little rotational weight for predictable stiffness and maintenance-free running.
Tire-Type Trade-off: The hooked bed accepts clincher and tubeless tires from about 25c to 32c; tubeless cuts rolling resistance and lets you run lower pressure, but needs tape, valve and sealant to seal the bed.
Sourcing & Delivery Trade-off: The stock build ships in 1–3 business days; a custom decal adds 7–15 business days and roughly a $60–100 premium.
Config Ladder: The steel-bearing ratchet hub upgrades to ceramic bearings for about +$100 and cuts about 1.5W of friction; pairing this front with a conventional spoked rear keeps overall crosswind sensitivity down.

FAQ
Which tyres fit and what pressure should I run on the 22mm internal bed?
The 22mm internal bed suits 28–35mm tubeless tyres; on the front wheel, start around 60–80 PSI and tune to your weight and conditions.
How does this deep rim handle crosswinds on descents?
An optimised profile keeps steering torque predictable at 10°–15° yaw, so high-speed descents stay planted.
Do these rims accept standard clincher tyres, and is there a pressure cap?
Hooked rims fit standard clincher tyres directly, no hookless pressure cap applies.
Can I run this front wheel on a disc-brake bike?
No — this front wheel is built for rim-brake, track and time-trial setups and does not take a disc rotor; choose our disc-specific model if your frame uses a rotor.
Will I really pay no customs or VAT for delivery to the US and EU?
Yes. The Economy channel ships DDP — duties and VAT are fully prepaid by us, cleared in advance, delivered to your door with no extra payment to customs or the courier.
