[MECHANIC'S COMMENT].

The HED / Head Belgium R Disc Rim is a lightweight and durable aluminum disc rim for a wide range of applications from road to gravel. It inherits the design philosophy of the long-esteemed HED Belgium series, while offering a well-balanced performance optimized for today's wide tires.

The main feature is a modern rim profile with a 25mm wide outer width and 21mm inner width, which works well with tires around 28c to 40c, naturally widening the tire profile for a more stable ground contact and increased comfort. The tires are less likely to sag even on rough pavement or gravel, providing a secure riding feel while maintaining the nimbleness typical of road bikes.

In addition, HED's unique high-precision aluminum molding and tubeless-ready construction combine to achieve both light weight and durability. The wheel build allows for stable spoke tension and is suitable for a wide range of riding styles, from daily rides to long rides and light gravel. This rim works well with all-road and gravel bikes, as well as modern steel-framed disc road and gravel bikes like the SURLY Midnight Special SKLAR Super Something WILDE Ramblar SL.

TUNE KillHill (Front) & ClimbHill (Rear ) are extremely lightweight and precise disc brake hub sets from the German lightweight parts brand TUNE. Made of forged and CNC-machined aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum, they combine lightness, rigidity, and durability at a high level. The precision manufacturing, assembled and adjusted at the headquarters factory in Germany, is also a major attraction.

The greatest feature of this hub set is that it is extremely lightweight, weighing around 350g for the front and rear sets. Despite its light weight, the 17mm aluminum axle and large-diameter bearing configuration ensure rigidity and rotational performance. The rear side is designed not only for light weight but also for long-term durability, with large bearings on the heavily loaded drive side.

It is also compatible with 12 x 100 mm (front) / 12 x 142 mm (rear) through-axle standards and center-lock discs, making it the ideal configuration for road and gravel bikes. Combined with lightweight rims, it produces high response and light acceleration in a wide range of applications from road to gravel. Combining lightness, precision, and a beautiful anodized finish, this hub is ideal for high-end wheel builds.

[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 the bicycle, since it is said that "fashion starts from the feet up". The wheel is 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 major adjustments to the wheel. (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.
