Boyd Cycling Jocassee Rear Wheel

With an internal rim width of 26mm, the Jocassee is designed to pair best with modern gravel tires ranging from 35mm to 50mm wide. This width provides a stable base that prevents tire squirm during aggressive cornering on loose surfaces.

Yes, this wheel uses a standard centerlock hub design, which is compatible with all modern centerlock disc brake rotors. If you are currently using 6-bolt rotors, you will need to switch to centerlock rotors or use a 6-bolt to centerlock adapter.

The shallow 25mm depth is specifically chosen for gravel riding to offer a compliant, forgiving ride that absorbs road chatter. It also keeps the wheel weight low and ensures the bike remains stable in crosswinds, which is critical on open gravel roads.

Yes. By using external nipples, Boyd has made truing and tensioning the wheel straightforward without needing to remove the tire or rim tape. This design choice prioritizes long-term serviceability for riders who prefer to handle their own maintenance.

While it is engineered for the rigors of gravel, the Jocassee is certainly capable of handling road riding. However, keep in mind that the wide 26mm internal width is optimized for higher-volume tires, so it may not be the ideal choice if you prefer narrow, high-pressure road tires.
