Princeton seem to be making wheels for slow riders now
Princeton Carbon Works just dropped the press release for their brand new Wake 6560 Evolution II wheels, and the aero data reveals a fascinating shift in the industry. Have we entered the era of the "Sail Effect"? In this video, I’m breaking down the new CFD and wind tunnel data to explain why Princeton's newest high-end wheelset might actually offer the biggest aerodynamic benefits to slower riders experiencing wider yaw angles. We also dive into how they optimized the rim around 28mm tires , the massive weight savings that bring the rims down to 420g, and what this means for the everyday rider tackling real-world crosswinds. Plus, what is going on with Princeton's UK distribution and pricing?
