The WH-R501 Wheelset by Shimano - An everyday companion at an entry-level price


The Shimano WH-R501 wheelset is a real perennial favourite. For years, these reliable and robust wheels have been inspiring passionate road cyclists in training and in their leisure time - in no small part due to their reasonable price. WH-R501 wheels are based on solid aluminium rims and hubs and have been equipped with a steel freehub, round stainless steel spokes and brass nipples. The sealed, low-maintenance conical bearings are characterised by efficient running and load capacity. Note that road cassettes can only be used on the rear wheel up to 10-speed. On the other hand, the installation of MTB 11-speed cassettes is possible without much fuss.

Cup and Cone Bearings

Good wheels. Little bit heavy. But for this money - it's the best option.

I've bought this wheelset for usage with my trainer. But now i'am using this wheels for training action.
No wobbly-wheel effect after 3000+ km. They are still straights as new.

bin zufrieden. habe den LRS jetzt ein paar tausend km gefahren und finde er fährt sich gut. das hohe gewicht merkt man natürlich etwas aber der preis is unschlagbar für einen ganzen lrs. als trainings-lrs braucht man denke ich nicht mehr ausgeben.
