HEDEmporia GA Performance Gravel 700c Disc Wheelset(Return to Product Page)

I wanted a second set of wheels for the gravel rig. These are light and strong and beautifully made. They are the entry level HED wheels but you would never know it. The quality is better than others at this price point and I like supporting a family owned business.

Great wheels, my first experience with tubeless and the tire inflated with a hand pump easy even before I put in sealant. The ride is wonderful and a big upgrade from the stock wheels.

After I got a new frame after one year since the old one cracked I had to switch the wheel set to thruaxle. These wheels are great, still affordable and are holding up well. Tubeless ready with no problems.

Wheels were shipped in strong containers. Nice bearings. Wide ID, so great for bigger tires. Reasonable weight. Best of all, nice quiet pawls in the freehub body. Only have a hundred miles or so, so can't say much about longevity, but HED has a great reputation.

Wheels were very easy to set up tubeless. Able to use my floor pump 1st try. I really like the 25mm internal width for my 38mm Schwalbe all arounds. Quality build, so far so good.
