The WH-R8170 TL carbon clincher disc brake is engineered to meet the high - standards of professional road races. It features a lightweight full - carbon 50 mm deep rim, which significantly improves aerodynamics, boosts rigidity, and offers excellent inertia, making it a top choice for sprinters and TT specialists. The stainless - steel butted (2.0 - 1.8 - 2.0) and bladed straight - pull spokes ensure an optimal balance and rigidity. The elbow - less spokes create a wheel that is both strong and compliant. With a wide flange spacing, the wheel provides high lateral rigidity. The labyrinth double - contact sealing effectively blocks out water and dirt. The alloy cone comes with integrated steel Borozon - treated bearing races, and its super mirror finish reduces friction. The cold - forged, machined aluminium hub shell and oversized 7075 alloy axle help minimize the wheel's weight. Specification: It has an easy - to - use Center Lock rotor mount for disc brakes, is suitable for a 100 x 12 mm axle, and is 700C clincher compatible.
Using this Shimano wheel is straightforward. First, make sure to mount it correctly on your bike with the 100 x 12 mm axle. The Center Lock rotor mount is easy to use for disc brakes, so just follow the normal installation process for your brake system. When riding, enjoy the improved aerodynamics and the smooth performance provided by the high - quality components. As for maintenance, keep the wheel clean. The labyrinth double - contact sealing does a great job of keeping out water and dirt, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down after a ride, especially if you've been in wet or muddy conditions. Check the spokes regularly to ensure they are tight and in good condition. Also, since the alloy cone has integrated steel Borozon - treated bearing races, there's less friction, but it's still important to have the bearings checked and lubricated periodically by a professional bike mechanic. Remember, this wheel is designed for 700C clinchers, so always use compatible tires.
