GORILLA SPUN Build Wheel [SIMWORKS by VELOCITY Standalone 26" x SHIMANO Cues]

[MECHANIC'S COMMENT]

Based on Velocity USA’s classic Cliffhanger rim—designed for off-road touring and ATB wheels— the VELOCITY Standalone 001 Silver Non MSW features brass eyelets for enhanced strength and durability.
This rim is reliable and versatile, suitable for everything from daily commutes to school and city rides to touring with a full load.

The long-awaited silver color is now available for the SHIMANO CUES hub , which covers conventional grades up to 11-speed. Since the majority of the market has adopted the through-axle standard, the selection of quick-release hubs has become very limited. Furthermore, it’s a fact that options narrow significantly when looking for silver models, and there are also price barriers to consider.
The HB/FH-QC400 Silver reliably addresses these issues, making it a dependable companion for many cyclists.

We’ve crafted this wheel set to be the perfect fit for those looking for their first set of wheels or who simply want a set of silver wheels—regardless of the specs.

[PARTS]

What exactly are bicycle wheels? They’re a crucial component for a bicycle to move forward, and as the saying goes, “Style starts from the feet,” so they also have a major impact on the bike’s appearance. These “wheels” are truly, truly important components. This time, we’re not going to talk about performance—we’re going to talk about how they’re built.

In the world of bicycle wheel building, there are two types: “pre-built” and “hand-built.”

“Factory-built” wheels are those shipped by the wheel manufacturer in a finished state, and shop mechanics like us generally don’t need to make any major adjustments to them.(Minor adjustments are necessary, and there are some that, well, simply can’t be used without a bit of tweaking.) Due to this production method, some wheels are tuned for a general audience or for professional or pro-level riders, and they aren’t built with each individual customer in mind.

That’s where “hand-built” wheels—Circles’ specialty—come in.
The advantage of “hand-built” wheels is exactly what the name implies: by selecting each component one by one and assembling them ourselves, we can create a wheel that’s a perfect fit for the user.
