Planet X Pro Carbon Handbuilt 50mm Track Wheelsets

Planet X carbon wheelsets are renowned for their quality, performance and value. Our wheels regularly come out top in magazine tests. These Pro Carbon Track Wheelsets are the track specific version of our best selling 50mm deep section Carbon Wheelsets. They're hand built in the UK, fully handmade and finished.

The aero profile tubular rims offer low drag. Deep section wheels offer significant aerodynamic benefits over their shallow rim counterparts. Deep section rims offer huge advantages on the track. Wind resistance increases exponentially with speed. This makes the aerodynamics of your bike extremely important and nowhere is this more true than with your wheels.

The rims are laced to a set of our beautiful and tough-as-heck 120mm Pista Track Hubs. These hubs are modern classics: 24 hole, 120mm drop-out width, large flange for stiffness, Sapim race spokes, high quality cartridge bearings, hollow axle. They're a flip-flop design which allows you two run a different sized sprocket on each side for quick-change of ratios, or you can run one side fixed and the other side with a singlespeed freewheel.

The 50mm rim depth size is a good all-rounder. 50mm rims can be used on open-air tracks where deeper rims may catch sidewinds undesirably. They can also be used on the road if you occasionally use your track bike for commuting, for example. 50mm rims are a bit lighter than deeper sections rims too.

As well as being high performance and handmade, the Pro Carbon Track Wheelset look the part too. Sleek black hubs, classic silver spokes, matt lacquer carbon rims.
