RESERVE 37 TA REAR CARBON FIBER CLINCHER RIM

Design and construction

The 37 is the rear half of the shallowest Turbulent Aero pair. Reserve runs the rear deeper than the front across the whole road range, because the rear wheel sits in the frame's wake and sees less of the crosswind that makes a deep front twitchy - so depth is cheaper there.

Reserve designs and tests in Santa Cruz, California, and warrants its rims for life including crash replacement, which is the clearest statement a rim maker can make about what it expects the rim to survive.

How it rides

A 37 TA rear wheel is stiff under power, comfortable on rough tarmac and light enough to climb on. With a 28mm tubeless tire and a 34 TA front it makes an all-road wheelset that suits everything from gran fondos to light gravel, and the extra depth at the back is felt as a firmer response when you stand on the pedals.

For more aero the 63 and 88 TA rear rims are deeper; the 37 TA is the Reserve rear rim we recommend for climbing and all-road riding.

Specifications

This listing

This is the 700c listing of the 37 TA, 24h, about 355g, 22mm inside, 37mm deep, disc. Pick the size that matches your frame; the profile and construction are the same across the range.

This is the disc-brake 37 TA: plain sidewalls, no brake track to wear, a touch lighter. It fits any disc-brake bike and it is the version most of our customers now build; the rim-brake version is a separate listing.

Sizes, fit and compatibility

The Reserve 37 TA Rear Carbon Fiber Clincher Rim comes in the drillings listed on this page. It is a disc-brake road rim. We build the 37 TA on DT Swiss 240 and 180, Industry Nine 1/1, White Industries CLD, Chris King R45 and Hope RS4 hubs, usually with Sapim CX-Ray or CX-Sprint spokes or DT Aerolite, and brass or alloy nipples.

Tire range on the 37 TA is 25 to 35mm with tubeless tires. Give the configurator your bike type and weight; it picks a sensible spoke count and lacing pattern, which you can override.

Build it with us

We build this rim to order. Open the Custom Wheel Program with the Reserve 37 Ta Rear Carbon Fiber Clincher Rim already selected and pick the parts around it; it is offered for gravel and road disc and track and road single-speed builds, and the configurator will not let you assemble a combination we would not build.

Spoke head is decided by the hub, not the rim: this rim builds equally well with J-bend or straight-pull spokes, and the configurator only offers the spokes that match the hub you pick.

Building it at ProWheelBuilder

Reserve makes the 37 TA; ProWheelBuilder is an independent wheel builder in Georgia, not the manufacturer. Every 37 TA wheel we build gets spokes cut from the rim's measured ERD, is tensioned in stages with a gauge, stress-relieved and trued before it ships. Tubeless tape and a valve are fitted on request.

In the configurator you will only see parts that fit this drilling; combinations that are not made are struck through, and the price updates as you pick.
