Ritchey Comp Zeta GX Wheelset

Yes, the Ritchey Comp Zeta GX rims are tubeless-ready. You can set them up with tubeless tires for better puncture protection and lower pressure capability, or use them with standard clincher tires and tubes.

The off-center, or offset, spoke drilling helps balance the spoke tension between the drive side and non-drive side of the wheel. This results in a stronger, more durable wheel build that resists lateral flex better than traditional symmetrical designs.

The hubs are compatible with standard gravel thru-axle configurations, including 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear spacing. They also support 15x110mm and 12x148mm standards, making them versatile for various frame designs.

With a 25mm internal rim width, these wheels are optimized for high-volume gravel tires. They provide excellent sidewall support for wider tires, which improves stability and handling on loose or technical terrain.

The 4-pawl engagement system is designed for reliability and minimal maintenance. While it is robust, you should perform standard periodic cleaning and re-greasing of the pawls to ensure consistent power transfer over the long term.

Absolutely. These wheels are engineered specifically for durability and reliability on unknown routes. The use of 28 DT Swiss straight gauge spokes and a sturdy 6066 aluminum rim makes them a dependable choice for loaded adventures or rougher gravel conditions.
