The Shimano RS710 C46 rear, disc-brake wheelset is an aero-optimised performance wheel. It’s perhaps the Japanese-component maker’s most affordable carbon wheel for the road, ever; but that’s not say it’s lacking in performance characteristics. In their usual fashion, Shimano have drawn on their design and engineering expertise honed in manufacturing their top-tier Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines, to produce a set of wheels that offers an excellent balance between aerodynamic advantage and weight. In short, this is a great all-rounder option. If it’s a complete wheelset you’re looking for, check out the RS710 C46 wheelset. The All-Rounder As the name suggests, the Shimano RS710 C46 rear has a 46mm-deep rim. At this depth, it’s clear the rim is meant for speed. However, at 893g it only comes with a slight weight penalty compared to its shallower sibling, making it an ideal all-rounder. Whether it’s for fast bunch riding or rides over mixed terrain, this is an excellent option. Wider Rims, More Speed Cutting-edge component makers that they are, Shimano have produced a wider rim than we might have expected in the past. Boasting a 21mm-internal rim width, the C46s will seat a 25–32mm tyre, which can also be tubeless. This offers a number of benefits to slimmer tyres. For one, a wider tyre will work more effectively at lower pressures, which improves comfort and grip, as well as reducing rolling resistance. Ultimately this translates to more speed for less effort. And, who could complain about that? The Shimano RS710 C46 rear uses hydraulic disc-brakes. Using the latest disc-brake technology you’ll have access to the consistent stopping power afforded by these systems. Whether it’s wet or dry or you’re descending long and/or steep mountains, you’ll have confidence in your stopping abilities. Of course, the rear wheel is the hub of it all, literally. For this edition, Shimano have retained the cup-and-cone style bearings for the hub, common across much of their range. It’s a simple and reliable system, which has been tried and tested for a number of years. If it’s a carbon, all-rounder rear wheel, that’s at the more affordable end of the spectrum you seek then the Shimano RS710 C46 is the well-worth consideration.

When you convert over to Di2 gearing it is more then just your gearing which you are changing over, it is your whole style of riding. Before you get on your bike however you will need to connect all those cables up and this is exactly what the EW-SD50 electric wires are for. The cables are fully removable and allow you to get the correct lengths of cable to run between the indicator junction box or wireless units. The cables are fully water resistant and can be routed through the frame.
