RTS J5 carbon wheel

I bought this just over 18 months ago and have used the wheel 5 times for local TT races and it is in immaculate condition with hardly a mark on it as the photos will show. There is barely any mark at all even on the braking line and what little braking was done via specialist pads and it was never ridden in the wet.

It comes with a Continental Grand Prix 400 tubular which has done less than 100 miles.

I will also include the bag that it has lived in since new as it protects it well

Technical info from the website

The RTS Carbon's J5 Five-Spoke wheels are the most streamlined non-disc wheels available. The front wheel paired with RTS Carbon's rear JD disc wheel is one of the fastest combinations for road time trial events. The 66 mm deep carbon rim profile is the most aerodynamic spoke-wheel available. With its five airfoil spoke sections that transition smoothly to the centre of the wheel, this wheel has one of the lowest drag values of any five spoke wheel. The wheels are designed using T800 fibres to increase rigidity and durability but at the same time remains lighter than other models.

The hubs use smooth Japanese stainless steel cartridge bearings with a new hub design that moves the flanges closer to the centre of the hub for less frontal surface area on both front and rear wheels.

Just a note for anyone not aware.
This type of wheel is not permissible for ise in time trials as it contravenes the CTT rules and regulations. You will be ok using it in triathlons (I believe) but not time trials held under the rules and regulations of the CTT.

(Nice wheels ... but wouldn't want to see anyone shelling out all that money only to find out they couldn't use it ... that's all).
