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.

Translation missing: en.product.metafields.tradeoffs
- Delivery vs Price: Factory-direct at $310 per rim (roughly half the cost of a single branded rim), but overseas dispatch takes 7-20 business days via FedEx/UPS/DPD Economy. Comparable Zipp 404 Firecrest ~$2,300-$1,600+ each.
- Weight vs Durability: 415g Superlight is 20g lighter for race day; Standard 435g adds layup margin. Both tubular beds are light because no hook is needed.
- Tubular vs Tubeless: Tubulars give direct feel and no pinch flats but require gluing and are heavier to carry spares; the tubeless 60mm rims are more convenient.
- Rim-only Build: Hub, spokes, nipples and glue sold separately; spoke length from ERD 519mm.

What is the Bola 60mm Tubular Rim and what is included?
A single bare carbon rim, sold rim-only with no hub, spokes, nipples or tape - built to your choice of components or used as a single-rim replacement.
How do I mount a tubular on this rim?

23-32mm tubular; 25-28mm is the classic race choice.
What is the ERD and spoke count?
ERD 519mm; 20/24 asymmetric spoke holes.
