Mavic Comete Track Disc Wheel

This rear wheel is the favourite of the world’s best track cyclists, and countless Olympic medals are proof enough of its real advantages in competition.

Simply fast: the Mavic Comete track disc wheel. The track version is designed with the classic mounting for bolt-on sprockets, for fitting a fixed sprocket. As safety is of the utmost importance on the track, the Comete rear wheel is equipped with a particularly sturdy bolt-on axle and is, of course, available only for tubular tyres. The Comete wheel is not suitable for rim brakes.

Mavic Hyperaero wheel, when minimal air resistance makes all the difference. The Comete wheels use the most advanced technologies to offer the lowest air resistance ever. The perfectly convex flanks actually generate even more forward momentum once a certain speed is reached. The highly modular, unidirectional carbon fibres over the honeycomb structure offer unrivalled stiffness. And the ultra-smooth bearings noticeably reduce rolling resistance. No wonder, then, that the most successful track cyclists won’t ride anything else, even if they aren’t sponsored.

Tubular wheels:

The wheels of the pros. Tubular tyres – not to be confused with tubeless – are tyres with an inner tube sewn into them. The tubular tyres are glued to the rims. This significantly reduces the weight of the rims due to the absence of rim flanges; it also prevents the tyres from puncturing, thanks to the lack of rim flanges, and offers excellent run-flat performance. The gluing process using traditional tubular tyre glue is relatively labour-intensive. Several layers of glue must be applied to the rim and tyre, and the tyre must then be glued to the rim. Correct positioning and alignment of the tyre requires a great deal of practice and experience. For the pros, this is usually done by the mechanic in charge. The simpler solution is tubular tyre tape. We recommend Tufo tape. This makes gluing and aligning the tyre relatively quick and easy. Tubeless sealant is a good choice for additional puncture protection.
