Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- Ultegra's level of quality is well known, as you can see in these wheels: reliable bearings, straightpull spokes, lightweight.
- These bearings are easy to maintain thanks to the smoothly running cup-conus system. Runs fantastically and is more durable than industrial bearings.
- Can be used with tubes and tubeless!
- This wheelset's code doesn't immediately indicate Ultegra, but its quality is at Ultegra level.

The Shimano RS500 wheelset has undergone a complete transformation to the Shimano Ultegra WH-RS500. The RS500 has the appearance of a very chique wheelset and certainly not that of an entry-level model. Design wise, the RS500 fits the Shimano's entire wheelset range much better.
The change in the Shimano RS500 isn't just cosmetic: the wheelset also comes with a tubeless rim and tubeless valves to lower rolling resistance. Riding tubeless minimises the chance of flat tyres, and massively increases your comfort levels because you can ride with lower tyre pressures.

• To be used with Shimano and/or Sram 10/11 speed groupset
• 10-speed spacer
• Quick release skewers (front and rear)
• Shimano tubeless valves

• Cassette remover
• (Optionally, a torque wrench)
Installing a cassette on a wheel is easy if you have the right tools. If you purchase a cassette remover with a Shimano fit, you will be able to mount either a Shimano or Sram cassette on your rear wheel. If you have a Shimano 9/10-speed cassette, first slide the spacer over the body. Then you place the cassette on the body. This can only be done in one way because of the fit of the body. Finally you turn the washer straight on by hand and tighten it with the cassette tool. Cassettes aren’t easily overtightened, but if you want you can use a torque wrench for this.

• Pay attention to the direction of travel when mounting your tyres.
• For 10-speed, do not forget to mount the spacer first before installing the cassette.
• The rim bed comes suitable for riding tubeless.

A perfect product at this price for committed riders. Less experienced cyclists may find that this wheel lacks comfort, but it's definitely a performance-oriented wheel.
