DT Swiss R500 Shutter Precision PD-8 dynamo hand-built front wheel

A DT Swiss R500 rim laced 32-spoke to a Shutter Precision PD-8 dynamo front hub, built by hand in our Marrickville workshop, tensioned, stress-relieved and trued before it leaves the bench. Our Pro wheel build and tubeless tape fitted are included and show as two free lines in your cart.

Dynamo

The Shutter Precision PD-8 is a dynamo hub: it makes 6 V 3 W as the wheel turns, enough for any standard 6 V dynamo light. Built for commuting and road riding. The PD-8 runs on a 100 mm quick release (9 mm QR); choose a black or silver hub on the hub row. The light, its cable and the hub's spade-clip connectors are not included: SP connector clips are sold separately.

Before you order — what your bike decides

Light — a 6 V dynamo light (not a battery or e-bike light).
Rotor mount — 6-bolt only on this front wheel: check your rotors.

Colour: pick it from the dropdown.

Who it is for

For road riding on a disc-brake bike. Sold as a front wheel; ask us for the matching rear wheel or the full set.

The rider's questions

How much can it carry? Max system weight (rider, bike and gear) 130 kg — the DT Swiss R500 rating, the lowest-rated part of the build.
What tyres fit? 26–35 mm tyres are DT's recommended range for a 22 mm inner width; 25 mm and 36–64 mm are possible; the tyre's own maximum pressure applies, the rim sets none.
Warranty? DT Swiss parts 24 months from purchase; our build work is guaranteed. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles — see the Warranty tab.
How long does it take? Built to order from supplier stock — we confirm the build date by email when you order.
Colours? Hubs in Black or Silver; the rims are black.

Kit includes

DT Swiss R500 32H front rim, 700c (22 mm internal, sleeve-jointed, ASTM 2)
Shutter Precision PD-8 dynamo front hub, 32H: 6-bolt · colours Black or Silver
32 × DT Swiss Competition 2.0/1.8/2.0 double-butted black J-bend spokes (front)
DT Swiss brass nipple pack, black — the rim ships without nipples

Everything in the Front Wheel box is built in. The rows under Upgrades are optional: tick what you want and the price updates. If you want us to lace a rim or hub you already own, that is a workshop job — contact us for a quote.

Sold separately (shown with this kit): tubeless sealant (Muc-Off No Puncture 140 ml), SM-RT66 160 mm 6-bolt rotor, tyres to suit (sizes above). Rotors: one per wheel, to match your rotor mount and your brake caliper's size range.

How we build it

Every wheel is laced by hand in Marrickville, brought up to tension evenly to the lower of the rim and hub limits (1200 N), stress-relieved and trued, then checked again before it is packed. Tubeless tape (25 mm) is fitted to the rim; add valves and sealant and it is ready for tyres.

Tune Cycles builds and fits these wheels. If you are unsure what your frame, fork or drivetrain takes, ask us before you order.

DT Swiss rims are covered for 24 months from purchase against material and manufacturing defects (dtswiss.com/en/support/warranty); riding outside the rim's ASTM category voids it. Our build — lacing, tension and truing — carries our workmanship guarantee. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles: bring the wheel to Marrickville or contact us with your order number and we handle it with the brand. Wear, crash damage, corrosion and incorrect fitting are not covered.

The Shutter Precision PD-8 hub is covered by Shutter Precision for two years from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship (sp-dynamo.com/service). Claims come back to Tune Cycles too.
