KGS 28-Inch (622) Rear Wheel for Shimano Nexus 8 Roller Brake & Rim Brake – Black/Silver | Double-Wall Rim | Stainless Steel Spokes

28-inch rear wheel with Shimano Nexus 8 Rollerbrake and rim brake

This KGS 28-inch rear wheel is fitted with a Shimano Nexus 8 gear hub with Rollerbrake connection, a black-and-silver aluminium rim, and durable stainless steel spokes. Thanks to the combination of a Rollerbrake connection and a rim with a braking surface, this wheel is suitable for bicycles that use both a Rollerbrake and a rim brake.

The rim is black with silver-coloured braking surfaces and has a double-walled, double-jointed construction. The image shows a rim width of 28 mm and a rim height of approximately 21.5 mm. The wheel is fitted with silver-coloured stainless steel spokes.

Shimano Nexus 8

The Shimano Nexus 8 is a low-maintenance gear hub with eight internal gears. The hub is designed for use with a Rollerbrake and offers a wide gear range for comfortable cycling in both city traffic and on longer rides.

Suitable for Rollerbrake and rim brakes

A major advantage of this wheel is the combination of both braking options. The hub features a Rollerbrake connection, and the rim has a braking surface for rim brakes. This means the wheel can be used on bicycles that use either of these braking systems, provided the other dimensions and connections match.
