Default FS: Shimano Dura Ace WH-7850-C24-TU Wheelset (NEW IN BOX)

For Sale: Brand New, in original box carbon tubular wheelset... the famous 1254 gram Shimano Dura Ace WH-7850-C24-TU. They stopped marketing these back in 2011 in favor of the increasingly popular deeper profile rims, however you still see tour riders racing these and will continue to do so as they are considered on of the best tubular wheelsets ever produced. Incredible strength to weight ratio and lighter than the C35 or C50 tubular wheelsets. They pop up on eBay from time to time and get snatched up immediately as they are becoming harder and harder to find.

They come with a pair of Shimano wheelbags and Dura Ace skewers, as well as spoke tools, carbon brake pads and manual. More info he
