Panaracer gravelking features 700x32

TYRES

Panaracer are synonymous with gravel. Made in Japan, their GravelKing series are revered as the benchmark for high performance tubeless gravel tyres. Natural rubber compound, puncture protection breaker and a special low rolling resistance casing make the GravelKing fast yet durable over any road surface from hot mix to moderate gravel.

As with all the Panaracer GravelKing tyres available with Grove Bike Co wheelsets, the 700x32 is tubeless compatible which offers increased suppleness and allows use of lower pressures with a reduced risk of pinch flatting. 290g / tyre

WHEELS

AlexRims have been manufacturing many of the world’s big-name rims for decades. Arguably the best rim maker in Taiwan, they now make all their hubs in house too maintaining top performance specifications with high quality assurance, all at a great price.

The Boondocks 3 wheelsets are robust, agile and fast rolling. Rims are 30mm deep with 21mm internal width and a tubeless ready design which suit tyre widths from 23mm to 55mm wide. 24 double butted stainless steel j-bend spokes lace 2-cross onto the Bear Pawls hubs. Hubs feature lightweight aluminium axles with low resistance sealed cartridge bearings; 2 in the front and 4 in the rear. A Shimano/SRAM 8-11 speed road freehub body ensures wide cassette ratio compatibility and axle specifications are for 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear.

Rim decals are removable stickers providing the easy option of a stealth black wheelset.

CASSETTE

The Sunrace CSRX8 cassette is the top of the line 11 speed cassette available from Sunrace. Featuring an AL7075 largest sprocket plus aluminium spider, spacers and lockring, the 11-42t cassette weighs just 404g (compared to Shimano M8000: 437g, SRAM PG-1130: 538g). This cassette is perfectly compatible with SRAM or Shimano 11-speed drivetrains. The Grove Cyclocross Alloy wheelset is supplied with a closer ratio 11-36t CSRX1 cassette (360g) for reduced weight and a closer shift increment at the top end (12T between the 11 and 13T).

  • 11-42t: 11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32-36-42
  • 11-36t: 11-12-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32-36
