TECHNOLOGIES
RIM
The rims have been optimised with a number of key technologies to ensure they are both light and aerodynamic. The rims are constructed from T800 carbon fibre which creates a lighter and stiffer rim than the benchmark series, the stand out feature is no spoke holes which removes the need for rim tape and eliminates a few more grams. They are hooked in design to ensure the maximum compatibility with all tyres.
The rims have these the the following technologies to promote stiffness and stability:
AFR - Asymmetric Fat Rim
For rim brakes the rear wheel has angled spoke holes and an asymmetric rim enable us to reduce the tension in the non-drive side spokes. This reduces the difference between the angle of the drive and non-drive side spokes. This is particularly important given the trend towards wider cassettes in the modern group sets.
OSH - Offset Spoke Holes
Spoke holes are angled to match the spoke pattern and the spoke angle, so that the nipple is in perfect contact with the inner wall of the rim. This enables the spoke tension to evenly distributed to the rim and no force placed on sidewall of the the spoke hole. The spoke will no longer bend where it meets the rim. All these factors combine to more efficiently transmit power from the hub to the rim.
ICE - Invisible Carbon Eyes
Additional material around the spoke holes on the interior of the rim provides additional strength where it is needed. This contributes to a lower overall rim weight without compromising the strength. The spoke holes are then chamfered to further improve the wheel durability.
ASB - Arrow-speed Braking Surface (Rim Brake version)
Laser-cut drainage channels, a special material for the brake track surface and a custom brake pad compound combine to deliver predictable braking performance in all conditions. The arrow-shaped channels provide unparalleled braking and drainage in wet conditions.
HUBS
The hubs are a machined from Aluminium and are laced with 2x1 pattern (apart from the front rim brake wheel which is a radial construction).
FLS - Fixed Lacing System
Shaped spoke holes in the hub flange prevent the straight-pull spokes from spinning. This eliminates the resulting changes in spoke tension.
WCB - Wheel-Specific Ceramic Bearings
Bicycle wheel bearings are subject to different conditions than normal bearing usage. Lower speeds, exposed to the elements and subject to radial and impact loads the bearing needs to be optimised.
ABS - Active Balance System
ABS is a combination of a proprietary tubeless valve matched with a counterweight on the opposite side of the rim. The dynamic balance of this system creates a wheel that maintains a stable centre during high speed rotation. The rider will notice a silky smooth ride and greater confidence when travelling at higher speeds.
TLS - Tubeless Ready System
By optimising the manufacturing process we have been able to eliminate the spoke holes in the rim bed. This allows for a much simpler tubeless setup and the removal of rim tape.

The meaning of Cycling100
In traditional road cycling, a 100-mile ride is called a "century ride" and the ability to ride 100 miles in a single ride is a sign of advancement. And 100 kilometres is called a "metric century". Whether it's 100 kilometres or miles, the number 100 means a lot. And that's the inspiration behind Cycling100.
Cycling100 is a new entrant into Europe that curates high-end bike components made by the best Chinese manufacturers such as wheels, frames and clothing. Cycling100 is not just another e-commerce site, we are driven by a community of professional road cyclists to offer European riders unique and competitive bike parts. Our selection model is strictly driven by a complete quality control process, extensive product validation and access to the best partners across China.
In China, Cycling100 has enabled more than 200,000 road cyclists across the country to enjoy nature and roads through the products we provide. This success and the continued innovation in China means we are now delighted to offer our high-quality products to all countries. Our passion will accompany more road cycling enthusiasts who wish to equip themselves with affordable and high-performance bike parts.
Road cycling
Our key difference in the market: We are not a western brand made in China. We are selecting the very best Chinese bike brands that are conceived, designed and made in China, this unique advantage allows us to offer highly competitive and affordable products.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, Chinese manufacturers have been working with carbon fibre to make a wide variety of high technology parts for industries like automotive, cycling and aerospace. Our brand of carbon wheels VORTEX and road bike frame SEKA are examples of how that manufacturing knowledge combined with skilled design and engineering we can deliver the objective of no compromise between aerodynamics, performance and durability.
Choosing Cycling100 means choosing durable quality at a price that defies the competition. Equip yourself with components at the best price that will guarantee comfort and race-focused performance.
Our 3 point charter
1. Strict Selection process
We strictly select the products offered using our team, all of whom are from the cycling profession and have a passion for their sport. Our products have been personally put through their paces by this team over an extended period of time, and some of our key products have been tested and reviewed with the cycling media. We are looking for performance, innovation and passion from these brands before we start the next phase with them.
2. Focus on Quality
We audit each one of our brands to ensure that they have a quality control team with strict processes in place. For example: all our bike wheels and carbon frames must undergo multiple rounds of inspection and control by our internal quality team (from the factory to the warehouse) before they are despatched. All our brands must meet international cycling industry standards and testing.
3. Customer Satisfaction
Because we place great importance on the trust of our customers your satisfaction is the key metric we measure ourselves by. From choosing the right brands to the focus on quality and then choosing quality logistics partners we will ensure that your goods reach you quickly and safely.
