Shimano WH-RX180 28" wheel set, Center Lock, Shimano HG
The Shimano WH-RX180 Gravel wheelset from the GRX series offers reliable performance and durability for gravel, bikepacking, and all-day adventures. Durable aluminum rims with an asymmetrical design and width suitable for wider tires increase stability and comfort off-road. Thanks to the hook-and-loop rims, the wheels can be fitted with both classic tubeless and tubeless tires, so you can choose the optimal solution for your riding style and terrain.
New hubs with HG nut and encapsulated bearings provide smooth operation and easy maintenance. The rear hub with a ratchet freewheel mechanism is suitable for both single- and double-chainring gravel sets and also allows for easy replacement of the freewheel body between Micro Spline and HG depending on the drivetrain used. Robust stainless steel spokes with 24 pieces per wheel and brass nipples further increase the strength and reliability of the whole.

WARNING
For information on product installation, adjustment, and replacement that is not found in the user's manual, please contact the place of purchase or a distributor. A dealer's manual for professional and experienced bicycle mechanics is available on our website (https://si.shimano.com).
For safety, thoroughly read this “user's manual” before use, follow it for proper use, and store it so that you can refer to it at any time.
The following instructions must always be observed to prevent personal injury and physical damage to equipment and surroundings. Instructions are classified according to the degree of danger or damage that may occur if the product is used incorrectly.
DANGER - Failure to follow the instructions will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING - Failure to follow the instructions could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION - Failure to follow the instructions could result in personal injury or physical damage to equipment and surroundings.
WARNING
- Do not disassemble or modify the product. Doing so may cause the product to malfunction, and you may fall unexpectedly and be seriously injured.
- Before riding the bicycle, check that the wheels are securely fastened. Improper use of the quick release lever may cause the wheel to come off, etc., and may lead to serious injury due to a fall or collision.
- Use the appropriate air pressure indicated on the tire and rim. If a maximum pressure is indicated on the tires or rims, do not exceed the maximum pressure with the lower value. Pressure higher than indicated may cause a sudden blowout and/or sudden release of the tire and cause serious injury.
WH-R9270-TL / WH-R8170-TL / WH-RS710-TL: maximum pressure = 7.5 bar / 109 psi / 750 kPa
WH-R9170-TL / WH-RS770-TL: maximum pressure = 8 bar / 116 psi / 800 kPa
WH-RS370-TL: maximum pressure = 6.5 bar / 94 psi / 650 kPa
WH-RX880-TL / WH-RX870-TL / WH-RX570-TL: maximum pressure = 5 bar / 72 psi / 500 kPa
- Before riding the bicycle, inspect the wheels to ensure that the spokes are not bent or loose and that there are no nicks, scratches, or cracks on the rim surface. If any of these problems are found, do not use the wheel. The wheel may break and you may fall. Check that there is no carbon peeling or cracking.
- Do not use the road wheel set on unpaved surfaces. The road wheel set is designed for paved surfaces. If the wheels are used on unpaved surfaces, they may bend or be damaged, which could result in an accident.
- Do not use the GRAVEL wheel set in harsh conditions, such as on rough roads. Do not use it for downhill riding or freeride type riding, otherwise the wheel may bend or be otherwise damaged if subjected to a strong impact, and an accident may result.
- Do not use with rim brakes. These wheels are designed exclusively for use with disc brakes. Using these wheels with rim brakes can damage the rims and cause an accident that may result in serious injury or even death.
- Check that the quick release lever does not interfere with the disc brake rotor even when fully engaged. If the quick release lever is on the side of the disc brake rotor, it may interfere with the disc brake rotor, which is dangerous. If the quick release lever interferes with the disc brake rotor, stop using it immediately and contact the place of purchase or a distributor.
- Details on the E-THRU axle are provided in the user's manual for the E-THRU axle.
- Tires should be installed and removed by hand. If this is difficult, you can use a resin tire lever for tubeless wheels. In such cases, be sure to check that there are no dents, scratches, or cracks on the rim surface, as there is a risk of damaging the air seal between the tire and the rim, which could result in air leakage. For carbon rims, check that there is no carbon peeling or cracking. Finally, make sure that no air is leaking.
F12 (front 12 mm axle), R12 (rear 12 mm axle) wheel (hub axle)
- This wheel can only be used in combination with a special front fork/frame and hub axle. If used in combination with any other front fork/frame or hub axle, the wheel may detach from the bicycle during riding, resulting in serious personal injury.
CAUTION
- Please note that a higher rim is more easily affected by wind and causes riding instability.
Warm-up period
- Disc brakes have a certain warm-up period, and the braking force gradually increases with the increasing warm-up period. Make sure you are aware of such increases. Otherwise, you may lose control of the bicycle, fall, and be seriously injured. The same situation will occur when replacing brake pads or the disc brake rotor.
