GORILLA SPUN Build Wheel [VELOCITY Blunt SS & SHIMANO Deore M6010-Boost]

MECHANIC'S COMMENT

The Blunt SS is light enough for podium racers, yet durable enough to take on any terrain. The newly updated bead hook and bead seat geometry maximizes the performance of low-pressure tubeless tires, and the short, thick sidewalls support the suspension with incredible rigidity. In addition, the spoke bed is designed to handle ultra-high tension while keeping the overall weight low.

The SHIMANO Deore M6010-B ensures high rigidity while maintaining optimal weight balance. It coexists with light weight for driving sharp corners at high speeds while minimizing suspension distortion. This is good, this is good.Assembled with a hub that balances price and specs.

[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". The wheels are such a very, very important component. This time, I would like to talk about how they are assembled, not about their performance.

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

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

This is where Circles' specialty, "hand assembly" comes in.

The advantage of "hand assembly" is that we, mechanics, select the parts that make up the wheel one by one and assemble them to complete the wheel to make it just right for the user.
