25th Century Bling

Check out the wheels on the Transition! Originally designed by Specialized for big Fab Cancellara, I managed to get my hands on them. They look like any other wheel set but Specialized have been working on these babies for years. The key is the patent method of carbon weave – Weave Integrated Nano Dual Ultra Prism. Or WINDUP, for short. The hubs are pretty revolutionary also. They use a paper thin casing that surrounds a vacuum compartment that is filled with rotational gas. The result is an almost frictionless rotation of the wheel.

Impressive stuff eh!!? If you can’t afford this 25th Century technology you can always get some Specialized stickers to match your bike and whack ‘em on the wheels you already have. . . 8-)
