Frequently Asked Questions
What rider weight is the 700c 80mm UV rim rated for?
Tested up to 120 kg per rim, this model suits most adult riders for triathlon, road and TT builds. For heavier use, please consult Bola about custom layups.
How does a 34mm wide rim affect aerodynamics in triathlon compared to 30mm or 25mm?
Wider 34mm UV rims improve aerodynamic stability and airflow reattachment at typical yaw angles, helping maintain speed in crosswinds versus narrower rims (25–30mm) used in older models.
Is the Bola 80mm rim compatible with both tubeless and clincher tires?
Yes, it supports modern 25–28mm tubeless and traditional clincher tires for easy setup and reliable sealing performance.
What is the difference between UV (toroidal) and standard U-shape rims for racing?
UV (toroidal) profiles further reduce drag by managing airflow across varying wind angles. This can improve speed consistency versus standard U-shapes, especially in variable conditions.
How is Bola’s rim quality controlled and warranted?
Each rim passes multi-stage QA: flatness <0.15 mm, spoke tension >280 kg, and dynamic balance <3 g per rim. Coverage is 3 years for structural/material faults. Full warranty details are available on request.
