27.5 inch 650b DT Swiss Gravel G540 Disc Rim, Shimano 105 R7070 Centrelock Hub Rear Wheels, 142mm x 12mm, Shimano HG

These 27.5 inch 650b gravel bike rear wheels incorporate brand new black 32 hole DT Swiss G540 db disc rims, brand new black Shimano 105 R7070 rear centrelock disc specific hubs, and Sapim Leader 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 R7070 105 series centrelock mount disc hubs have excellent sealing performance through the use of low friction Labyrinth and contact seals, and an internal grease sleeve. They have cold forged aluminium hub shells with an anodised finish. Special Boron Nitride machining process is applied to the cones for super smooth rotation. The rear freehub body is designed for 11-speed road cassettes, and transfers power rapidly with pawl engagement every 10 degrees. The hubs are set for 142mm x 12mm. The rims are 3-cross laced to the hubs with Sapim Leader silver stainless steel spokes and nickel plated brass nipples. Price includes insured and tracked postage.
