Description: This is a new set of Chris King GRD23 wheels with 3D Violet R45D Hubs with steel bearing and an HG freehub body. These wheels were used on a show bike that was built for the release of the Shimano GRX LTD groupset. They have had a cassette, rotors, and tires mounted and have been test ridden but have no real rides on them. Front hub is 12x100 Centerlock. Rear is 12x142 Centerlock. Purchaser will receive proof of purchase for the lifetime warranty. What Chris King says :: The GRD23 is not like other wheels in many respects. It’s an all-road wheel that offers you a bit more compliance than other carbon all-road wheels. Having said that, it’s not soft. It’s not noodly. It’s just a bit friendlier to your bones when you ride it on all the stuff you ride. The GRD23 rim is made of FusionFiber®, a cutting edge thermoplastic that incorporates long-chain polymers. Without diving into the science, FusionFiber® has a wider range of compliance profiles, and that means we could tune this wheel to hit a sweet spot in road feel that we didn’t see being served by more performance-oriented carbon wheelsets that focus on using resin to create unforgiving stiffness. Unlike other carbon rims, the GRD23 rim is recyclable. If you manage to break it somehow, we’ll take it back and make it into something new. Another reason you want this wheelset is that it’s built around our R45D Centerlock hubs, the culmination of over 45 years of bearing experience and more than 20 years of hub building experience. It features a redesigned RingDrive™ system with 45 teeth for lower drag and near instant simultaneous engagement, a lightweight hub body, and our legendary made-in-house bearings. Those bearings, both steel and ceramic, have heat-treated, surgical grade steel races machined in tandem to ensure perfect matching. The quality and speed of our bearings is what you feel (and hear) on every ride. As the tracks on Chris King bearing break in and burnish they actually get faster. A little bit of regular love (i.e. service) will keep this hub rolling for years upon years of demanding use. This wheelset comes with the legendary angry-bee sound and you can choose from a bunch of sharp hub colors, including basic black.
