TYRO 轮辋制动器

I bought these wheels in England and I've been riding with them on my Kuota for about 2 years. I love them. They are responsive and just great looking. Yes, I do still ride rim brake and the braking is good and put to the test when I took a corner at about 45km/h on a slight descent to find a farmer herding his cattle across the road. Not the best braking in wet but that's expexted so I simply just slow down and brake earlier just like in a car. I ride in Barbados which is relatively flat with some rolling hills so the descents don't require too much high speed braking whereas some of the descents flatten out or lead into a short climb. I also ride in Montenegro which is very mountainous. I do some long epic climbs where I will have my wife meet me at the top and put the bike in the car so I don't wear out the brake surface on the descents which usually consist of many tight or hairpin turns. Having said that during a nice descent in Barbados with more flowing corners I maxed out at 74km/h so they are very good at high speed.

A quite unique wheelset..
I have 2 bikes equiped with these magnificent wheels which are robust but still light and suitable for both road and gravel. Multi purpose, strong, but at the same time smooth and comfortable.

The wheels ride great! The rear wheels became slightly out of true. FFWD was able to swiftly fix the issue in-house. A testament to their premium service.

Back into riding after 20+ years I upgraded my original custom steel frame with a new gruppo and rode for a year enjoying being back on the bike.

Realizing I was in it for the long haul I decided to upgrade my wheels. Shopped, researched and decided on FFWD Tyro rim break wheels! Wow!! Comfortable! Easy to maintain! Faster!

All good. Recommend to any and all!!
