Front and Rear Wheels

Bicycle wheels combine rims (carbon/aluminum), hubs (sealed cartridge bearings), and spokes (steel/DT Swiss Aerolite) into optimized systems—with front wheels prioritizing aerodynamics (25-50mm depth) and rears engineered for drive-side stiffness (2:1 lacing, 142-148mm hub spacing).

Tip: Check spoke tension every 3,000km—rear drive-side spokes lose 10–15% tension first. Use a tensiometer for carbon wheels (90–120 kgf recommended)."
