GORILLA SPUN Build Wheel [VELOCITY Blunt 35 x VELOCITY Race Disc]

[MECHANIC'S COMMENT]

The VELOCITY Blunt35 is now available in a long-awaited 20-inch size! Yes! It is the perfect size for BIKE FRIDAY's All-Packa and OMNIUM's front wheel.As the model name suggests, the 35mm width is the best choice for 2.0" to 2.6" tires. The weight is not too heavy for its width, and tubeless operation is also possible.

VELOCITY Race Disc hubs are used. 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 each part, and the simple structure makes maintenance very easy, including cleaning the inside of the shell and replacing axles. With its high durability and reliability, it has joined the new standard of disc brake hubs.
The fact that it can be used with either through-axle or quick-axle types is another reason why many people choose it.

[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.
