Profi le Design RD PD 1/Fift y carbon clinchers
| RRP R19 995 | www.twowheelstrading.co.za
Though better known for its tri-bars, Profi le Design’s RD PD 1/Fift y
carbon clinchers prove the brand does wheels more than well too.
This set boast a wide, 50mm deep profi le and full carbon aero rims –
with crosswind stability – built to be stiff but handle well. The 1/Fift y
wheels also have a heat-dissipating brake track, designed to be used in
conjunction with the Profi le Design P220 TwentyFour Series brake pads.
The rims are hand laced to proprietary precision-machined alloy hubs
that run on sealed cartridge bearings. The front wheel tips the scales at
730g while the rear weighs in at 884g.

Redshift Quick-Release Aerobars | RRP R2 999 | www.redshift sports.co.za
If you are not going whole hog into the IRONMAN triathlon scene with a dedicated time
trial or triathlon bike then retrofi tting your road bike for better aerodynamics is the way to go.
And Redshift ’s Quick-Release Aerobars are a good way to do this. Utilising a quick-release
mechanism you can fi t or remove the aerobars without having to fi ddle with a multi-tool. They
fi t 31.8mm bars and provide a good range of adjustability to allow you to fi ne-tune your set-
up. To ensure they do not unclip mid-ride, there’s also a secondary safety release mechanism.

A swi fter second generation
Swift Carbon Neurogen MK2 | RRP R99 000 | www.swift carbon.com

They can use the new fully integrated bar system, which includes carbon extensions, to
get themselves into the most aerodynamic, comfortable and powerful position possible.
