28 inch 700c DT Swiss Gravel G540 Disc, Shimano M475 6-Bolt Hub Wheelset, 100mm QR 135mm QR

This is for some newly hand built 28 inch 700c gravel bike wheelsets incorporating brand new black 32 hole DT Swiss G540 db disc rims, brand new black Shimano M475 6-bolt disc specific 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. For use with 6-bolt disc brake rotors and quick release dropouts, the Shimano M475 hubs use cup and cone bearings, and double contact sealing prevents mud ingress. The rear freehubs can take 8-10 speed Shimano HG type road cassettes, or 8-12 speed Shimano HG type MTB cassettes. The hubs are set for 100mm and 135mm QR – skewers provided. The rims are 3-cross laced to the hubs with new Halo silver stainless steel spokes and nickel plated brass nipples. This beautiful wheelset has been hand trued, dished and spokes tensioned according to rim manufacturers recommendations. Wheels are bubble wrapped and boxed properly. Price includes insured and tracked postage.
