June Bug Posted January 9, 2024 Share Posted January 9, 2024 BikesDirect.com is having a crazy good sale on gravel wheelsets (including tires and rotors) for $299 https://www.bikesdirect.com/gravel-wheel-sale/ Wheelset GRAVEL 700x45c DT SWISS Front and rear THRU-AXLE RIMS: DT SWISS G540 (DiscBrk) TIRES: Maxxis Rambler 700X45c, 120tpi, EXO/TR Folding HUBS: Shimano 10/11Spd 100/142mm w/Ball Bearing, SPOKES: 32 BlackStainless FREE Shimano CenterLock Rotors This would be a 2nd wheelset for a Hudski Doggler, which came with 27.5, 2.6 Maxxis Rekons, but the non Boost frame can also accommodate a 29er gravel wheelset. The existing drivetrain on the Doggler is Shimano SLX 12 speed with a Shimano MT410 HG+ rear hub. Front 15x100 & rear 12x142mm wheel spacing. This BikesDirect wheelset has a Shimano 10/11 speed hub. Their web site says: "Fit Standard Shimano 10/11 Speed or SRAM 12Spd SX/NX Cassettes" Anyway to make this work with a Shimano 11 speed cassette or SRAM cassette...or something?

AntonioGG Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 Can someone explain this to me? Are they really talking about a 2x11 system with 16 usable gear combos? Is calling this 2x22 a normal thing? https://velo.outsideonline.com/news/trp-vistar-1x16-shows-up-on-a-sage-storm-king-at-made/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 First I've heard of this, but it sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheX Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 A little more info. Looks like there are two versions. One for road and the other for gravel. Going above 12 gears is a little crazy, but this is an interesting idea. I'm hooked on wireless, using AXS for a couple years now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted August 30, 2024 Share Posted August 30, 2024 Yeah just as I thought, that writer over-complicated the explanation: 2spd internally geared hub with 12 speed cassette for up to 16 usable gears. I guess there's an 11spd cassette too hence the 2x22 stuff in the article? Very interesting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
