GORILLA SPUN Build Wheel [SimWorks by VELOCITY Standalone 001 26" x SHIMANO Deore XT]

[MECHANIC'S COMMENT].

Based on Velocity USA's standard rim Cliffhanger for off-road touring and ATB wheels, VELOCITY Standalone 001's new color Bronze with brass eyelets for additional strength and durability.

The hubs use SHIMANO SHIMANO Deore XT QR. The bike is equipped with cutting-edge technology inherited from the top-of-the-line XTR components to meet the needs of riders of all levels, from racing to fun riding, but at a very reasonable price. This 11-speed rear hub is equipped with a 10x135mm quick release system, which has become rare in recent years.

The wheels are hard to find, but we have assembled them to be tough and long-lasting, without being overdone. It can be used safely from daily commuting to school to round-the-world touring.

[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.
