• Converging both of the above

    Hunt, Hope, Arkane, Ryan, DCR — all building proper wheels fit for purpose. Where though is Shimano? The WH-RS710 was announced over a year ago, so availability should be up to speed. But where is it? Distributor Freewheel does not even list it. Yet it is available in the EU, and at a deep discount from Bike24.de (860 EUR, 31% off MSRP).

    Not deliverable here however — unless you order for delivery to Northern Ireland. It is a truly bizarre anomaly.

  • I have made an error — the Shimano wheelset I intended to refer to is the GRX series (WH-RX870) with 25mm internal-width CFRP rims. Rear wheel is available from Freewheel as @snottyotter notes, but at a much higher price than that offered by Bike24. Demand > supply it would appear.
