28 Inch 700c DT Swiss Gravel GR531 Disc Rim, Bitex BX201FG/MTR12 6-Bolt Hub Wheelsets, 32H, Shimano HG

These newly hand built 28 inch 700c gravel bike wheelsets incorporate brand new black 32 hole DT Swiss GR531 db disc rims, brand new black Bitex BX201FG front and MTR12 rear, 6-bolt disc specific hubs, 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. Strength boost welding gives a seemless join for a wide gravel rim with a suggested maximum system weight of 130kg. The rims can be used with or without tubes. The black anodised and polished, sealed bearing Bitex BX201FG and MTR12 6-bolt hubs are good lightweight hubs that are both reliable and durable – ideal for a road/gravel disc setup with a range of freehub options. This wheelset is built with 100mm/135mm QR axles, and supplied with 12mm through axle adapters. The rear hub is fitted with a standard 11 speed Shimano HG freehub (supplied with a spacer for fewer speeds). The rims are 3-cross laced to the hubs with new Sapim Leader silver stainless steel spokes and nickel plated brass nipples. Price includes Parcelforce 48 tracked and insured delivery.
