The TYRO II features a 45mm deep tubeless ready hooked rim with 21mm internal and 29mm external widths designed for exceptional aerodynamics and optimized for 28mm tires. The TYRO II is compatible with standard clincher and tubeless tires from 23mm to 44mm.
The wheel set is built with the FFWD Two/One straight pull center-lock hubs featuring a 36 tooth rear ratchet system offering 10 degrees of engagement for quick and crisp shifting, Sapim round Sprint spokes and DT Swiss brass nipples.

CALIPER AND FRAME COMPATIBILITY
FRAMES
Rim brake framesets produced prior to 2018 may not have adequate clearance for the TYRO II RB 29mm external rim width when a tire is mounted.
We highly recommend measuring the inside-inside width of your frame at it’s narrowest part – for a rear wheel this is often directly behind the bottom bracket or the rear seat stays where the tire sits when a wheel is mounted. If there is 32mm+ of width at your frames narrowest point the TYRO II RB should be compatible with 25mm or 28mm tires.
CALIPERS
Shimano 11spd rim brake group sets including 6800, 7000, 8000, 9000 and 9100 and SRAM 11spd/12spd rim brake calipers have been tested and should be adjustable and compatible with the TYRO II RB.
First generation Shimano Direct Mount calipers or older 10spd era calipers may not be compatible.
Adjustment of the brake calipers will be required including new cables if the current cable length is not adequate for width adjustment. This setup should be done by a qualified mechanic to ensure the calipers, brake pads and wheels are adjusted for ideal braking performance.
If the frameset or calipers are not compatible with the TYRO II RB, we recommend choosing the F4R FCC or F6R FCC models that are 27mm external width and compatible with almost all rim brake framesets and calipers.
