Technology
Technology of Shimano 105 WH-RS330-CL Rim Brake Wheelset
Cup & Cone Bearing:
Shimano cup & cone bearings use angular contact to effectively displace lateral and vertical loads for smooth rotation and excellent durability. Plus, their design makes them easier to adjust and service.
OPTBAL:
The OPTBAL rear wheel spoke system features 21 spokes—14 on the drive side and 7 on the non-drive side. Cassette spacing in today’s wheels produces unbalanced tension in traditional 1:1 spoke systems. This unbalance is intensified with the 11-speed cassette, producing nearly double the tension on the drive side spokes. Generally high and low tension spokes have respectively tendency toward breaking down and coming loose spoke nipples. Unbalanced tension affects durability and strength. The OPTBAL design rebalances spoke tension, enhancing wheel rigidity and strength for a more durable wheel.
