The Bola 700C 45mm U-shape carbon tubeless rim - a 28mm-wide disc-brake aero rim with hooked or hookless bed for all-round road racing and endurance.

Ride longer, push harder, dial in faster: the Bola 45mm U-shape rim blends aero depth with wide tyre volume for modern tubeless road performance. Forty-five millimetres of carbon, 28mm wide, sold rim-only.

Buying Guide.

Weight tier - Extreme Light ~355g: the one-wheel-for-everything climber - light for climbs, still aero on the flat.

Weight tier - Ultralight ~375g: the balanced middle - the sweet spot for most all-round racers.

Weight tier - Superlight ~405g: the steady build - impact margin for long endurance days.

Weight tier - Standard ~430g: the durable daily choice for training miles and heavier riders.

Max rider weight: rated to 110kg - check rider + gear before ordering.

Same-depth series: the 45mm road rim is the wide-outer version; the 45mm tubular is the glued race option.

Adjacent depth: the 40mm U-shape climbs better; the 55mm U-shape goes deeper.

Target Audience & Usage Notes.

Target audience.: All-round road racers and gran fondo riders.

Rim-only.

Hookless requires ETRTO-certified tyres at 72-87 psi; hooked supports up to 125 psi.

Respect 110kg.

Not for pure flat TT.

The Ride That Awaits.

Build it around a disc road hub, seat a 28-32c tubeless, and the 45mm U-profile finds the middle way: fast on group rides, soft enough on long days, calm when the wind squares up. One wheelset for every road you ride. Free shipping, a 3-year rim warranty and crash-replacement discount.

Trade-offs & Considerations
Aero vs Crosswind: The 45mm depth saves about 4.0W versus a 35mm rim at 40km/h; at 10° yaw the 28mm outer width keeps crosswind input manageable, sitting between the calmer 40mm and the more aero but gustier 55mm.
Weight vs Stiffness: The Extreme Light tier (355g) saves about 75g versus the Standard tier (430g) at the same 45mm depth (±5g); lateral stiffness stays within 3% across layups, so the lightest build retains the same rim box.
Tire-Type Trade-off: The hooked 21mm bead accepts 25–38c up to 125 psi; the hookless 23mm bed runs 27–40c at 72–87 psi with ETRTO-certified tyres, trading higher pressure headroom for a wider, lower-rolling tubeless bed.
Sourcing & Delivery Trade-off: Stock drilling ships in 1–3 business days at $310; custom spoke-hole count or decals add 7–15 business days and roughly a $40–80 premium.

How It Compares
FAQ
What tyre widths fit this rim?
The hooked 21mm bed runs 25–38c; the hookless 23mm bed runs 27–40c. 28c is the road aero sweet spot.
What is the ERD for spoke length calculations?
548mm, with 20/20 holes and a 6.5mm valve hole. Use this Effective Rim Diameter for custom builds.
Is it tubeless ready?
Yes. The hooked bead mounts tubeless clinchers; use tubeless tape, a valve and sealant to seal the bed.
Which weight tiers are available?
Extreme Light 355g, Ultralight 375g, Superlight 405g and Standard 430g (±10–15g); the heavier tiers suit training builds.
Which brake type?
Disc brake only — there is no rim-brake braking surface.
