Description

The Bicycle Wheel Warehouse Gravel Light rim is a super light, tubeless ready, gravel disc rim.  Perfect for off road racing or riding, these wheels could serve as a massive upgrade over your stock gravel disc rims.  With a 20mm tubeless ready inner profile, these rims weigh in at a feathery 380g per rim.  Given their price point, they offer an incredible value.  The outer rim width is 25mm, rim height comes in at 17mm.  Even though these rims are super light, we’re building them with 32 spokes front and rear, so you’ll still appreciate their lateral stiffness, and ability to hold up over broken terrain, ruts, roots, rail ways, or small drops.

Ready for a radical miracle?  Just a walk in the park Cougar.

The Speed Tuned ST280 hubs feature 72 points of engagement, (5 degrees) via a 6 pawl free hub.  The drive ring and pawls are super overbuilt in terms of diameter, (drive ring), height, (drive ring + pawls), and materials, (quality stainless).  Their bearing placement is proper, in terms of overall design meant to promote hub function and durability.

DT Swiss 350 hubs are excellent as well, they are finished to incredible standards, and include DT Swiss’ Star Ratchet engagement system, (same exact drive mechanism as with their DT 240’s and 180’s).  These hubs get the job done, hold up extremely well in an assortment of conditions, and have proven reliable even in the emerging context of high torque drive trains, (29er wheel bikes with 1×12 Eagle drive trains).  Essentially, DT 350’s offer you the option of buying one of the best performing hubs available anywhere, for only a modest price bump.  Given their huge value proposition, they are hands down a great option for any MTB rider that cares about their gear.

In “stock” form, these wheels are built with Sapim Leader black spokes in a 32 hole, three cross configuration front and rear.  Sapim only produces spokes and nipples, their focus has translated to legendary quality and performance over time.  If you didn’t know a thing about spokes, know that your wheels would come with a really top notch spoke product.  That being said, we’re offering a spoke upgrade option, in the form Sapim Race or Sapim DLight 2.0/1.65/2.0 spokes.  Essentially, you might be able to find a spoke product that approaches Sapim’s quality, but you’d be hard pressed to find a company that makes a better spoke product.  All their spoke products, from straight gauge to their elliptically bladed and butted products, are all the best of the best.  Sapim Dlight spokes will perform at the same relative level as DT Competition spokes for example, but will shave off approximately 75 – 80g from the wheel set.

The BWW Gravel Light is a stellar wheel set option, (think DT Swiss XR331), in a field that’s composed of some of the best aluminum alloy rims ever.  Given their level of performance, they are an unbeatable deal, (coupon codes here).  We’re not joking around here.  If you don’t have a lot of time to research all the rim options in the marketplace, if you don’t have a lot of money, and if you can find this product page, maybe that’s Magic.

Should you buy this wheel set?  Entirely your call.  Should you watch this short but sweet rock climbing video?  Absolutely.  One More Fun One.

Make That Two.
