Shimano GRX WH-RX570 Front Wheel | Ivanhoe Cycles

The Shimano GRX WH-RX570 28-inch wheels are suitable for gravel because of the wide tubeless rims. The internal rim width of 21,6 mm is optimal for fitting wider tyres. With tyres between 32 and 42 mm, this provides the necessary comfort when cycling mainly on unpaved paths. When riding on gravel, you want a very reliable wheelset so that breakdowns can be avoided as much as possible. This is exactly what the Shimano GRX wheels are built for. The 24 straight pull spokes in the front and rear wheel distribute the pressure optimally and prevent spoke breakages. Tubeless ready These wheels are tubeless ready. All you need to add is some tubeless tyres and latex. By riding tubeless you can prevent punctures, reduce rolling resistance and increase comfort because there are no inner tubes. Of course, these wheels can also be used with folding tyres and inner tubes. Cup cone bearings This type of bearing rotates better at different degree angles than industrial bearings, which cannot handle lateral loads as well in the long run. Cup cone bearings are easier to maintain, adjustable and much more durable if properly maintained.
