GORILLA SPUN Build Wheel WTB KOM Tough i30 x SHIMANO M8000XT]


Description

WTB was founded in 1982 in Marin, California as a manufacturer of durable and reliable mountain bike components. Their primary focus on durability and reliability is a commitment that has remained unchanged over the past 30 years.

The name KOM comes from King Of Mountain, a rim that is primarily focused on winning.
The aluminum rim is as light as carbon, and of course, as strong as carbon, which is typical of WTB. This rim is recommended not only for trail bikes, but also for bikepacking, gravel bikes, and light touring bikes depending on how they are assembled.

Build with the safe and reliable SHIMANO Deore XT grade hubs, and the 135mm quick-release hubs can also be used on older MTBs.

What is a wheel in a bicycle? It is an important part for a bicycle to move forward and has a great influence on the appearance of the bicyclE 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 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 fit the user just right.
