This review explores the Miche Syntium Aero Wheels, highlighting their construction, performance, and design. It delves into their aerodynamics, stiffness, durability, and subtle aesthetics.
Miche Syntium Aero Wheels are the Italian brand's 'high performance' aluminium hoops. With a rim depth of 29mm, an internal width of 19mm and a claimed weight of 1,746g, the spec sheet isn't ablaze with eye-catching numbers, but they feel well built and durable.The Syntium Aero s use 29mm-deep rims that seem to offer a slight aero benefit on flatter terrain and handle crosswinds without drama – not that I would expect a rim of this depth to be particularly troubled by crosswinds anyway.
The rims are mated to WR series hubs with bladed straight-pull double-butted spokes, laced in a 2:1 pattern for optimal stiffness. They certainly feel like they offer good lateral stiffness when riding out of the saddle. Spoke count in both wheels is 24, which should ensure they stay true for many miles to come. The rear wheel is asymmetric, with 16 spokes on the drive side, eight on the non-drive side, evening out the forces going through the rim. Looking closer at the hooked rim, it's been given a sandblasted type finish that seems to have shrugged off any grit and grime from the roads. I struggled to find the seam joining the rim together, which is testament to the tolerances Miche is working to. As you can see from the photos, the graphics are very subtle, with the light grey 'Miche' on opposite sides, and a small tricolore around the valve. They look great and give the impression of costing much more than they do.The internal width is only 19mm; this would have been considered bang up to date a number of years ago but the trend for wider rims has continued to gather pace. While an extra millimetre or two might not be that noticeable, the ever increasing tide of wider rims is hard to ignore. The idea behind a wider rim is that it provides a larger volume of air and greater support for the tyre, meaning lower pressures can be used, which in turn results in more comfort as the tyre can absorb more vibratio
