The WTB KOM Light i23 TCS MTB rim sports a stiff alloy construction, ensuring you have plenty of control whether you’re on the climb or the descent. The 4D spoke drilling helps to remove lateral loading and disperse tension, so you get a smooth, powerful roll even over gravel. Plus, the TCS 2.0 technology ensures easy, dependable installation of tubeless tyres with a smooth, dependable interface between rim and tyre. WTB's proprietary 4D spoke drilling on the WTB KOM Light i23 TCS Rim prevents binding and lateral loading of the spokes, while the spoke bed itself has been updated to provide a more compatible interface between the spoke and rim. Integration of the updated Solid Strip on its TCS 2.0 rims delivers the easiest to mount and most reliable tubeless system it's ever made. Additional Features: WTB's lightest alloy rim employs an open cavity design Sturdy AL6069 alloy produces rims strong enough for daily hammering on a trail bike Updated spoke bed provides a more congruent interface between nipple and rim TCS 2.0 rims deliver WTB's easiest to mount and most reliable tubeless system WTB Solid Strip is included with the rim and provides a smooth surface between tyre and rim. It also prevents a broken spoke from puncturing the tubeless system and losing air TCS tape is also required for tubeless setup (sold separetely) Technologies: Universal Standard Tubeless (UST) Ready: The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort while reducing inertia and flats. TCS 2.0 Technology: This refined version of the “Tubeless Compatible System” offers the same high performance, lightweight mountain bike rim structure, but is now easier to install and more dependable. 4D Angled Spoke Holes: Drilling spoke holes at an angle eliminates binding and lateral loading of the spoke and nipple interface. It also allows spoke tension to be more evenly dispersed on the nipple rather than loading one side more than the other. Allowing the spoke to depart the rim at a natural angle increases the long-term durability of both the spoke and nipple.

TCS 2.0 Technology: This refined version of the “Tubeless Compatible System” offers the same high performance, lightweight mountain bike rim structure, but is now easier to install and more dependable. Dual I-Beam Support: Two vertical supports within the inner cavity drastically increase the strength and lateral stiffness of our KOM Tough rims. These additional reinforcements counteract spoke loads, which improves stiffness and minimizes deflection in rocky, unpredictable terrain. 4D Angled Spoke Holes: Drilling spoke holes at an angle eliminates binding and lateral loading of the spoke and nipple interface. It also allows spoke tension to be more evenly dispersed on the nipple rather than loading one side more than the other. Allowing the spoke to depart the rim at a natural angle increases the long-term durability of both the spoke and nipple.
This WTB KOM Tough i35 rim features a super-durable alloy construction to ensure it can take everything the mountain throws at it, while also staying lightweight to keep climbing easy. The durability is further enhanced by the I-Beam construction, while the dual support beams increase the stiffness for consistent, reliable handling. Plus, the 4D angled spoke drilling disperses tension evenly to allow for a fast-rolling performance.

Zipp® developed the Tangente™ High Performance Cork Brake Pad as a response to the intense heat caused by braking on carbon. These pads are designed for our carbon rims and employ a composite cork polymer to reduce glazing and offer consistent brake response. As a result, the Tangente cork pad avoids the brake pulsation produced by residue buildup from rubber pads and can even eliminate pulsation from rims with previous buildup.Even though the newer silver Tangente Platinum Pro Brake Pad is designed to perform better across all riding conditions, we realize there remain fans of the smooth consistent feel of cork.Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad’s unique shape places more material in the front of the pad to improve durability and shed water. Although the composite material wears similarly to low-temperature rubber compounds, the Tangente cork pad lasts longer than most rubber carbon-specific pads because of its shape and 0.5 mm greater overall thickness.Select Shimano®/SRAM® or Campagnolo® stylesThe Tangente pad may be used on any tubular or clincher rim with a carbon braking surface, but it should never be used on aluminum braking surfaces.
The redesigned Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is created especially for braking on carbon surfaces delivering smooth speed control and reliable stopping power in all conditions, wet or dry. It also is designed for a longer wear life. Just like a champion cyclist, this pad is a versatile performer.
Please Note: The Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pad is designed for use on carbon rims and has not been approved for use on aluminium braking surfaces. One pair supplied in a pack.
