GORILLA SPUN [VELOCITY Quill x VELOCITY Road Hub]

[MECHANIC'S COMMENT].

Innovative road rim derived from Airelon and A23 Quill derived from Airelon and A23. With an outer width of 24.5mm and an inner width of 21.1mm, this wide profile provides the rider with sufficient lateral rigidity and comfortable control even with a small number of spokes.
With a rim height of 25.5mm and an aero shape, this rim is recommended for riders who are looking for a clicky ride.

The hub uses the VELOCITY Road Hub. The Velocity hub is a true "in-between" hub that is well-balanced in terms of rotational performance, ease of maintenance, and price. Sealed bearings are used in all parts, and the simple construction makes maintenance very easy, including cleaning the inside of the shell and replacing the axles.
These wheels can be used when you want to refresh a classic road racer and add a clicky ride while seeking air volume.

[PARTS]

What is a wheel in a bicycle? It is an important part for a bicycle to move forward, and it has a great influence on the appearance of a bicycle, since it is said that "fashion starts from the feet up". Wheels are such a very, very important component. This time, I would like to talk about the way wheels are assembled, not about their performance.

In the world of bicycle wheel assembly, there are two types: "fully assembled" and "hand-assembled.

Complete assembly" means that the wheel manufacturer sends out the wheels as a finished product, and we, store mechanics, rarely have to make major adjustments to them. (Some wheels need to be fine-tuned, and some wheels need to be hand-tuned.) Because of this, some wheels are made for a specific group of people, or for professionals or professional-level riders, and not for each individual customer.

This is where Circles' specialty, "hand assembly" comes in.
The advantage of "hand-assembly" is, as the name suggests, that each component of the wheel is selected one by one and assembled by our mechanics to complete the wheel, thus allowing us to create a "wheel" that is just right for the user.
