These road, CX, or gravel wheels offer multiple axle options. The welded alloy clincher rim has an internal width of 24.0mm and an external width of 27.5mm, perfect for wider tires. The front and rear hubs feature sealed cartridge bearings and a Center Lock rotor interface. Double butted spokes with alloy nipples ensure durability. It's compatible with HG splined Shimano/SRAM 11sp cassettes, and also works with Shimano/SRAM 8 - 10sp cassettes with a spacer. The XDR is 1.85mm longer than the XD Driver, taking up the same space as an 11 - speed HyperGlide road driver. Tech specs include a 700c size, rear (XDR) configuration, EA70 AX rim, X5 hub, 10x135 QR + 12x142 TA axle/spacing, 28 holes, DB spokes, alloy nipples, black color, and a weight of 1760g for the f/r set.

Using these wheels is straightforward. First, make sure the axle option you choose (either 10x135 QR or 12x142 TA) matches your bike. Install the wheel on your bike following the standard procedures for your bike model. When using wider tires, the 24.0/27.5mm internal/external width of the rim provides a great fit. As for maintenance, regularly check the spoke tension. You can use a spoke wrench to adjust if needed. Keep the hubs clean and lubricated. Wipe them down after each ride to remove dirt and debris. Also, check the compatibility of your cassette. If you're using an 8 - 10sp cassette, remember to use the spacer. Avoid riding in extremely harsh conditions as it may damage the wheels. If you notice any unusual noises or vibrations while riding, stop and inspect the wheels for any issues.
