The Shimano WH-RX880 Carbon Tubeless wheelset is very tenable and reliable. The wheels with Centerlock disc brake mount and E-Thru standard offer simple handling and workability. The hubs feature high-quality contact seals and cup and cone bearings for smooth rolling and best performance. The rear wheel features the OptBal 2:1 spoke lacing which means that the drive side has twice as many spokes as the non-drive side what enhances the wheel rigidity and durability.
“Designed for the specific demands of gravel riding, racing, and exploration, Shimano’s new GRX carbon tubeless gravel wheels bring lightweight, reliable performance in a modern gravel wheel package. Whether your preferred riding terrain is fast gravel roads, smooth, serpentine singletrack, or bushwhacking along old goat paths, these lively tubeless-ready wheels deliver the key performance features necessary to assure a great day on the bike.” “Shimano’s lightweight GRX carbon wheelset weighs in at just 1,394 grams and features a shallow 32-millimeter rim height for faster acceleration and climbing whether on steady mountain climbs or the endlessly rolling terrain. The shallower rim depth also ensures better control in heavy cross winds, a scenario so common on long rides.” “The GRX carbon rim width is a fully modern 30-millimeter external and 25-millimeter internal, making these wheels suitable for tires from 32-millimeters wide all the way up to 50-millimeters. And the stealth black full-carbon rims are laced with 24 spokes front and rear to maximize strength and reliability no matter how far down the road less traveled your adventures take you.” “Featuring Shimano’s ultra-reliable cup-and-cone ball bearing hubs, the GRX carbon gravel wheels deliver quick engagement and a lively feel on all riding surfaces. Whether you’re fighting to stay on a wheel during a hectic gravel race start or challenging your riding pals to a town line sprint, the RX880 wheels immediately jump into action.” – Shimano
KEY FEATURES:
Different rim shapes for front and rear optimized lacing and reduce weight making this wheelset both lightweight and strong. The Digital adjustment system eliminates the double lock system found on most cup and cone hubs. Instead a ratcheting ring is hidden under an end cap, and to adjust it you just remove the end cap with a 5mm allen, and then simply rotate the ring to remove any play in the bearing
