The Shimano WH-RX010 is a dependable 700c clincher rear wheel built for gravel and road riding with disc brakes. Paired with a Centrelock hub featuring angular contact bearings and labyrinth sealing, it delivers smooth, long-lasting performance on varied terrain — ideal for riders stepping up to disc-specific alloy wheels without sacrificing reliability or value.

Highlights

• 24mm deep aluminium rim: Low-profile alloy rim offers a balance of stiffness, low weight, and tyre clearance for road or gravel use.
• Centrelock disc mount: Centrelock rotor interface provides quick, precise rotor installation and removal with a standard bottom bracket tool.
• Angular contact bearings: Hub internals use angular contact bearings with labyrinth and contact sealing for smooth rolling and durability in all conditions.
• 28 bladed straight-pull spokes: Stainless steel black bladed spokes in a 2-cross lacing pattern deliver reliable tension and long-term wheel integrity.
• 10/11-speed freehub: Steel freehub body accommodates 10- and 11-speed cassettes for broad drivetrain compatibility.
• Sleeve joint rim: Precision sleeve joint construction keeps the rim true and consistent around its circumference.

Build Quality

The WH-RX010 rear wheel is built around a 622-17C aluminium rim (24mm deep, 23mm wide) with a sleeve joint for consistent roundness. The 28 stainless steel bladed spokes are laced in a 2-cross pattern to the Shimano Centrelock rear hub, which uses angular contact bearings and Shimano's labyrinth plus contact sealing to keep water and debris out. Rim tape and a QR skewer are included.

Tyre Compatibility

The 17mm internal rim width is suited to tyre widths of 700×25c through to 700×38c, making the WH-RX010 equally at home on road bikes and gravel rigs. The clincher bead profile accepts standard clincher tyres.
