Hello All,
With the ramping up of the Astuto Continental Store, we are offering our Truspin Service at a heavily discounted price during our soft opening period.
Truspin Wheel System Service: The Truspin Service is a complete system setup.We look at not only the wheel but the complete system. How can we make the best wheel system on the market? Simple, we combine our building expertise with high technology and a little old school ideology.
Truspin takes your wheelset from the most basic form and builds it up to the ultimate wheels system.
First we de-tension the spokes and reset them to equal tension on all spokes. This ensures a balanced wheel and reduces the chance of breaking spokes. Spoke tension value is determined by mfg specs and personalized consultation.
With the tension correctly set we then make the wheel straight and round with precision up to .05mm in both vertical and horizontal directions.
We then bring the spokes back up to proper tension while keeping the wheel statically balanced. A statically balanced wheel is a wheel that has an equal distance from hub to rim edge in every direction. This means your wheel is as round as possible and will roll with ease. In addition, proper tension will mean your wheel is as stiff as possible to reduce power loss through spoke wind up and have less horizontal movement, thus increasing your handling performance.
Next, with a state of the art wheel balancing machine, wheels are now balanced to get rid of the harmonic vibrations that resonate at higher speeds. What does this mean for you? It means more power. A balanced wheel will rotate in a perfect circle and reduce the amount of energy lost through harmonic vibration.
By adding weights to your wheels in strategic locations the vibrations are reduced next to nothing. This may seem counterproductive as lighter is better right? Wrong! The data shows that for every gram of weight added to balance your wheel, you will save .5 watts of power. Seems small right? Well think about this: On average a 50-60mm carbon wheel needs up to 20 grams of counter weight to be balanced (of course having a better quality race tire will reduce this amount). This means you could be saving up to 10 watts per wheel!
Furthermore, wheels are balanced at 120 km/h roughly twice the speed at which harmonic vibrations occur. Why do we do this? If the wheel vibrates at 60km/h, doubling the speed will double the intensity of vibrations and allow us to more precisely balance the wheels so they feel silky smooth at high riding speeds.
The end result of the Truspin Wheel System Service is a wheel system that is statically and dynamically centered and balanced.
