Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Excited to get my Aeolus Pro 37V carbon wheels yesterday but noticed what seems to be discoloration on the rims – is that normal for brand new wheels? by Outrageous_Horror258 Bicycle Bicycling Bike Biking Cycling Trek Bicycles Trek Bikes

Ok-Entrepreneur4877 on November 1, 2025 5:49 pm Yes, you’re seeing the carbon layers. There’s no paint, only clear sealer. Appearance changes depending on light and the direction of the fibres.
