Yes, the wheelset is compatible with both 12-speed and 11-speed Shimano road or gravel drivetrains.

Clean carbon rims with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the carbon finish.
Tubeless setup allows for lower tire pressures, improving ride comfort and traction, while also significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.
Ensure rim tape is properly installed and intact. Use sufficient sealant and rotate the wheel to distribute it. Check for any small holes or imperfections on the tire bead or rim.
Check spoke tension. If uneven, gradually tighten or loosen spokes as needed. For significant wobbles, professional truing is recommended.
Ensure the Center Lock rotor is securely tightened. Clean both the rotor and brake pads to remove any contamination. Check for rotor runout.
Verify all components (axle, rotor, cassette) are correctly and securely installed. Check spoke tension, as loosening can reduce stiffness.
Setup: The WH-RX870 features a Center Lock rotor mount; ensure you have the correct Center Lock tool for installation. For tubeless setup, use appropriate tubeless rim tape, valves, and sealant. Ensure tire beads seat correctly on the 25mm internal rim. This wheelset is designed for 12-speed and 11-speed drivetrains.
Compatibility: This wheelset is compatible with 700C frames and forks. It uses a 12x142mm thru-axle standard for the rear wheel. The internal rim width of 25mm is best suited for tire widths ranging from 32mm to 50mm.
Care: Clean the carbon rims with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners. Regularly check spoke tension and true the wheel if necessary. Inspect the tubeless sealant periodically and top up as needed. Use appropriate brake pads if converting to rim brakes (though this is a disc-specific wheelset). Protect carbon rims from sharp impacts.
