Eurobike: FSA reveals carbon wheels

FSA

FSA has added a deep-section carbon wheelset to it's ever-expanding range. The K-Force Carbon wheels, made in Italy, boast a 50mm carbon tubular rim, 20/24 Sapim bladed spokes, high-relief logos and a claimed 1,350g weight. Elsewhere on the FSA stand, the company had a new integrated saddle/seatpost design (along similar lines to the SDG standard), revised brake callipers, a new carbon stem weighing 118g, but more of that soon...
