Whisky Parts Co. No.9 GVL Rim

The asymmetric profile is designed to equalize spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel. This results in a stronger, stiffer wheel build that handles the lateral forces common in gravel riding better than a traditional symmetrical rim.

Yes, the No.9 GVL rim is tubeless-ready. It is designed to provide a secure bead seat for tubeless gravel tires, which helps reduce the risk of pinch flats and allows you to run lower tire pressures for better traction.

The 23mm internal width is optimized for modern gravel tires, typically ranging from 30mm to 50mm wide. This width provides a stable, supportive base that prevents the tire from squirming during hard cornering.

No, these rims are specifically engineered for disc brake systems only. They do not feature a braking track on the sidewall.

Yes, the maximum rider weight limit for the No.9 GVL rim is 108.86 kg (240 lbs). This limit includes the rider, their gear, and the bike itself.

The 35mm depth strikes a balance between aerodynamic efficiency and stability. While it offers a slight aero advantage over shallower rims, it remains shallow enough to avoid being overly affected by crosswinds, keeping the handling predictable on open gravel roads.
