Help me understand it:
Here is a breakdown of what each specification means:
- RS: This likely refers to the brand or model name of the wheelset.
- ALU ALLOY: The wheel rims are made of aluminum alloy, which is a lightweight and durable material commonly used in bicycle components.
- CARBON FIBER BODY: The wheel hubs are made of carbon fiber, which is also a lightweight and strong material commonly used in high-end bicycle components.
- F2-R4 SEALED BEARINGS: The front hub has two sealed bearings, while the rear hub has four sealed bearings. Sealed bearings help to keep dirt and water out of the bearings, which can prolong their lifespan and improve the smoothness of the wheel rotation.
- SIDE-PULL: This likely refers to the type of brake caliper that is compatible with the wheelset. Side-pull calipers are a common type of rim brake caliper that attaches to the frame or fork of the bike on either side of the wheel.
- F24-R24 HOLES: The front wheel has 24 spoke holes, while the rear wheel has 24 spoke holes. Spoke holes are the openings in the rim where the spokes are inserted and attached to the hub.
- DISC BRAKE & THRU AXLE (F12*100_R12*142MM): This wheelset is compatible with disc brakes, which are a type of brake that uses a rotor attached to the hub to slow down the bike. Thru-axles are a type of wheel attachment system that uses a larger diameter axle that passes through the hub and is secured on either side of the fork or frame. The front thru-axle is 12mm in diameter and 100mm in length, while the rear thru-axle is 12mm in diameter and 142mm in length.
- RIM BRAKE & QR (F5*100_R5*130): This wheelset is also compatible with rim brakes, which use brake pads that grip the sides of the rim to slow down the bike. QR stands for "quick release," which is a type of wheel attachment system that uses a skewer to secure the wheel to the fork or frame. The front quick release is 5mm in diameter and 100mm in length, while the rear quick release is 5mm in diameter and 130mm in length.
- HIGH-DENSITY SLOTTED-DRUM TOWER 8~12S: This is a bit more difficult to interpret without additional context, but it appears to refer to the type of freehub body that is compatible with the wheelset. A freehub body is that part of the hub that the cassette attaches to, and it allows the rider to coast while pedaling. The "8~12S" likely refers to the number of speeds that the freehub is compatible with, which could be anywhere from 8 to 12 speeds. The "high-density slotted-drum tower" is a bit harder to decipher, but it could refer to the internal mechanism of the freehub that engages the cassette and allows the rider to pedal forward.
This wheelset is compatible with DISC and C-BRAKE SYSTEMS.
