Bontrager Paradigm TLR Road Rear Wheel

The Bontrager Paradigm TLR rear wheel is compatible with Shimano and SRAM road cassettes ranging from 9 to 11 speeds. It uses a standard 130mm quick-release axle spacing, which is common for most rim-brake road bikes.

It means the rim is designed to be converted to a tubeless setup, which allows you to run lower tire pressures for better comfort and traction while reducing the risk of pinch flats. The wheel comes pre-equipped with the necessary TLR rim strip and valve stem to make the conversion process straightforward.

Stacked lacing creates a better bracing angle for the spokes, which increases the lateral stiffness of the wheel. You will notice this most when climbing or sprinting, as the wheel feels more responsive and resists flexing under power.

The offset spoke bed helps balance the spoke tension between the drive side and the non-drive side of the wheel. This results in a stronger, more stable wheel build that holds its true longer over time.

With an internal rim width of 19.5mm, this wheel is well-suited for modern road tires. It will comfortably accommodate standard 25mm to 32mm tires, providing a stable platform that supports the tire sidewall effectively.
