These were take offs from a barely used gravel bike I purchased. They seem like ideal gravel or commuter wheels that can take some punishment. I see no marks on the rims and the nubs on the tires show no flat spot. Virtually no bite on the free hub body.
From Boyd: GVL stands for Gravel. It's also our home of Greenville, SC. Are we a little biased that we have some of the best gravel roads around? You bet! However, that also means we go out and ride those gravel roads hard. When it comes time to ride your next adventure know that your wheels will be up for the challenge. Whether you are just getting into gravel and want to "test the waters" before going all in on you dream gravel rig, or if you need an ultra dependable and budget friendly wheelset for your next bikepacking adventure, the GVL has the strength and features to improve your ride. This handcrafted wheel is laced with double-butted j-bend spokes and brass nipples. Two cross lacing pattern built to withstand high-torque loads. This wheel spins BOYD Skyuka disc hubs that feature 10 degrees of engagement and is compatible with Shimano cassettes.
