Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this wheel come with a tire?

No, this is a wheel rim component only and does not include tires, tubes, or rim strips.

Can I use this with a 12-speed drivetrain?

The hub is configured for a standard Shimano 11-speed road freehub; compatibility with 12-speed systems depends on the specific cassette type.

Are the skewers included?

No, the wheel does not include thru-axle skewers or any other mounting hardware.

What is the internal rim width?

The rim has an internal width of 21mm.

Is this a front or rear wheel?

The product is designed to accommodate the specific spacing of 100x12mm front and 142x12mm rear; please verify the specific SKU for the position you need.

How do I make this tubeless?

You will need to purchase a compatible TLR rim strip and a tubeless valve stem separately, then install tubeless-ready tires and sealant.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating tubeless tires

Ensure you are using high-quality tubeless tape and a dedicated tubeless-compatible valve, and use a high-volume floor pump or air compressor for the initial seat.

Freehub clicking or resistance

Inspect the freehub body for debris and ensure the cassette lockring is tightened to the correct torque specification.

Brake rotor rubbing

Loosen the brake caliper bolts, squeeze the brake lever, and re-tighten the bolts to center the caliper over the rotor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust alloy construction provides excellent durability
  • Tubeless-ready design reduces the risk of pinch flats
  • Stable platform for wider road tires
  • Consistent and reliable Centerlock braking performance
  • Standardized axle spacing fits a broad range of road bikes

Cons

  • Does not include tubeless rim strips or valves
  • No quick-release or thru-axle skewers included
  • Sold as a bare component, requiring extra parts for initial setup
  • Owner's manual not provided in the box

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper performance, ensure your bike frame utilizes 100x12mm front and 142x12mm rear thru-axle standards. Because this wheel is shipped as a bare component, you must source a compatible TLR rim strip and valve separately if you intend to run a tubeless setup. When installing, always use a torque wrench to tighten your Centerlock lockring to the manufacturer’s specified tension. For regular care, wipe the rims with a soft, damp cloth and inspect the brake rotors for any debris or oil contamination to maintain optimal stopping performance. Always check spoke tension after the first 50 miles of riding, as new wheels may settle in.
