The Bola 700C 60mm carbon tubular rim - a deep 28mm-wide U-shape glued-tyre race rim with asymmetric spoke drilling for time-trial and race builds.

The sprinter's final weapon: a 60mm tubular rim, its tyre glued on for instant feedback and fearless cornering. The Bola 60mm tubular pairs deep aero with the legendary ride feel of a sewn-up tyre, built for riders who race on tubulars.

Buying Guide.

Weight tier - Superlight ~415g: the race-day pick - lightest end for glued-tyre sprints and TT, for lighter racers.

Weight tier - Standard ~435g: the durable choice - a touch more layup for impact margin on rough race roads.

Max rider weight: rated to 125kg - check rider + gear before ordering.

Same-depth series: the 60mm road rim and 60mm U-shape tubeless are the tubeless alternatives if you do not want to glue.

Adjacent depth: the 55mm tubular climbs and handles better; the 65mm tri rim goes deeper.

Target Audience & Usage Notes.

Target audience.: Racers, time-trial riders and tubular traditionalists.

Rim-only.

Glue (or tape) your own tubulars; use carbon-specific rim-brake pads and watch heat on long descents; respect 145 psi and 125kg.

Not for riders unwilling to glue tyres.

The Ride That Awaits.

Cement a 25-28mm tubular to the bed, lace to a lightweight race hub, and step to the start line: the glued tyre answers every steer as if it were part of you, the deep aero swallowing the flat whole, the rear holding true. This is race day, distilled. Free shipping, a 3-year rim warranty and crash-replacement discount - build your tool, then ride it like you mean it.

Specifications

Size: 700c

Material: Genius Toray carbon fiber

Rim Depth: 60mm

Rim Type: Tubular / Glue-on

Glue Bed Width: 28

ERD (Effective Rim Diameter): 519mm

Weight Tier: Superlight 415g / Standard 435g (+/-15g)

Trade-offs & Considerations

Aero vs Crosswind: 60mm depth saves about 7.5W versus a 45mm rim at 40km/h; at 10° yaw it demands real attention on exposed roads, so it is a TT and flat-course weapon rather than an all-rounder.

Weight vs Stiffness: The Superlight layup (415g) saves about 20g versus the Standard layup (435g) at the same 60mm depth (±5g); lateral stiffness holds within 3% across the two layups.

Tire-Type Trade-off: Glue-on tubulars give about 8% lower rolling resistance than clincher tubeless, but the tyre is glued: service every 3–6 months, no roadside puncture repair and no sealant-based flat prevention.

Sourcing & Delivery Trade-off: Stock drilling ships in 1–3 business days at $310; custom spoke-hole count or valve hole adds 7–15 business days and roughly a $40–80 premium.

Recommended Use Cases

Road Racing Builds: 2026 peloton standard is 28-30mm tubeless on wide rims (TdF 2026 avg ≈30mm); 60mm section suits 40+ km/h racing.

Gran Fondo / Endurance: Modern 2026 frames (Propel, SuperSix, S5) design around 30-32mm clearance; 21mm inner bed pairs 25-32mm tubeless per ETRTO 2026 guidance.

Wheel Building: Custom road builds with disc or rim hubs; UD carbon layup options for weight-conscious or durable builds.

Weight Tier Selection: Offered in weight tiers (125kg); lighter for climbing, heavier for training and impact margin.

Compatibility

Frame: 700C (ISO 622) road/TT frames with rim brakes

Tire Type: Tubular (glued)

Tire Width: 23-32mm tubular

Valve: Presta (tubular valve)

Brake: Rim brake - use carbon-specific pads

FAQ

Can I run clincher or tubeless tyres on this, or is it a glue-on tubular rim?

This is a dedicated tubular rim: you glue on tubular tyres. It is not drilled or shaped for clincher or tubeless clincher tyres.

What spoke drillings are available, and which brake type is this rim rated for?

Spoke drillings and brake rating depend on the build option, selectable at checkout. If you plan to lace your own wheel, confirm the drilling and brake type with Bola before ordering so the rim matches your hub and frame.

What spoke tension can I safely build to — will the holes pull out of the carbon?

Drive-side / disc-side maximum tension is 130–140 kgf, with the non-drive side adapted to match; the spoke holes are locally reinforced inside the carbon layup to prevent pull-out cracking.

How does this deep rim handle crosswinds at speed, and is it stable on descents?

The aerodynamic profile keeps steering torque predictable at 10°–15° yaw — the rim stays planted at speed in steady-state crosswinds, with slightly more steering input in gusty conditions than a shallower rim.

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, and delivered to your door with no extra payment to customs or the courier.
