Shimano WH-RS500-TL Wheelset

The WH-RS500-TL wheelset by Shimano - Tubeless model for rim brakes

The Shimano WH-RS500-TL wheelset has rim brake-compatible aluminium rims that can be ridden tubeless thanks to the UST profile. It impresses with high stiffness values, efficient acceleration and a not too high weight. Sealed and greased cup-and-cone bearings are used in the aluminium hubs, which are characterised by durability and particularly easy adjustment. Double-butted stainless steel spokes provide more streamlining.
