27.5 Inch 650b DT Swiss Gravel G540 Disc Rim, Black Shimano CUES TC500B/QC400, 110mm x 15mm/135mm QR, Centrelock Hub Wheelsets, 32H, Shimano HG

These hand built 27.5 inch 650b gravel bike wheelsets incorporate brand new black 32 hole DT Swiss G540 db disc rims, brand new black Shimano TC500B boost front, and QC400 rear, centrelock disc hubs, Halo silver stainless steel spokes and nickel plated brass nipples. After extensive testing DT Swiss have settled on a full 24mm as the perfect width for modern Gravel bikes. The added width gives better support to wide, 35c or larger tyres, allowing the use of lower pressures, enhancing grip & comfort whilst reducing rolling resistance & tyre flex under cornering. Robust, sleeved construction gives a great value package for a wide gravel rim with a suggested maximum system weight of 130kg. The rims can be used with or without tubes. The Shimano TC500B front, and QC400 rear centrelock disc rotor mount hubs are part of the new Shimano CUES range of components. They comprise cartridge bearings and contact seals to extend hub life. The rear Shimano HG freehub will take 8 to 12 speed Shimano HG MTB cassettes, or 8 to 10 speed Shimano HG road cassettes. The hubs are set for 110mm x 15mm boost, and 135mm QR – skewer provided. The rims are 3-cross laced to the hubs with new Halo silver stainless steel spokes and nickel plated brass nipples. Price includes Parcelforce 48 tracked and insured delivery.
