KORE wheelsets

[RiP]

Regarding a question I posted a while back on this topic, about the existance or compatibility of a Microspline freehub that could be used on the Kore road wheels hub and never got an answer, now I've found this that could be usefull to others here:

• https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005013106502106.html

It's the missing MS road freehub that's now available from KORE!

I can confirm that the freehub from my goldix r240sl hub is interchangeable with the kore cyclone freehub. I tested this with both hg and ms freehubs.

I have just ordered a set from the zoom store and they sourced and fitted a Campy N3W free hub it’s extra cost but they are available

I just put together my top gun 50 (not ridden yet) and I found a silver washer in a seperate little bag.
I ordered both the HG and the SRAM free hubs.

Can anyone tell me what the washer is for?

Thank you!

11spd cassette.

11spd cassette.

Thank you! Does that apply for all 11speed casettes or only the ones, where I also need a spacer on my original ultegra 11s setup?

I e my original 11-32 Ultegra casette doesnt have a spacer but a recently acquired 11-34 (mallorca climbs where too much for me ) CS-HG800-11 cassette came with and needed the spacer. I would assume, this kore spacer serves the same purpose, right?

I guess Il find out

That spacer is for 10 speed casettes and 11 speed MTB casettes.
In fact 11-34 casettes were originally for MTB use, that´s why you need a spacer on them.
For normal 11 speed road casettes you don´t need that spacer.

Hi,

I got these wheels for a while and for the price I get them, they are pretty good.

Currently I am thinking about building an aero gravel bike (LC-72) and I wonder if it is durable/good idea to use these wheels for Gravel Rides/Events. I will put Specialized Pathfinder 40c on them and based on AE's description it should work out.

What are your thoughts about this ? Thanks

I run them on my commute Gravel which I use also to do some real gravel when I've got time for a detour homewards. I run them in the front with a 50mm Schwalbe G-One R and in the back a 45mm RS. No complaint.

Do you mind sharing pictures ? I would like to have an idea of what it will look like. Thank you ! Do you run them tubeless ?

I got the topgun 50mm wheelset today. I used ebay and asked about dpd as stated. 13 days to Denmark with free shipping and no extra vat.

I chose the black logo. But there is the white logo at the valve stem. Is it possible to remove it, im worried there will be a mark after the stickers. Also it's the loudest freehub i have ever heard. Is it just to use more dt swiss special grease?

No grease behind the end caps.

Other than that, i'm happy.

Just after i unpacked them and standing with one wheel in my hands. A Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II turned on the afterburner as he climbed just outside the city. Coincidence?

You can remove the sticker (if its a sticker) and then use something like googone to remove the residue.
Use more grease on the ratchets to make them less noisy.
The only wheelset I have ever bought that was properly lubed / greased was from 9velo. Everything else, remove all the end caps, ratchets and do it all yourself.

No I use TPU tubes
