Are 82mm wheels UCI legal for road races?
I thought the limit was 65mm but then I saw this:

Re: Are 82mm wheels UCI legal for road races?
The info on this seems to be harder to find than I thought
 The last I heard, the only 'main' requirement was that wheels had to have 16 or more spokes. I figure it's safe to assume that if some of the CSC guys are using 808s in mass-start races, then it's ok Anyway, here's a link to the UCI rules. I couldn't be bothered looking for the excat bit  http://www.uci.ch/templates/UCI/UCI...p?MenuId=MTkzNg Funny; I read another link which said spokes have to be "made of metal", so what then happens to the carbon spokes on some of the 'fancy' wheels? |
