ShimanoUltegra WH-6800 Tubeless Clincher Wheelset(Return to Product Page)

I do some bike commuting, club rides, and occasional big group rides. Distance ranges from 25 - 160 miles. These wheels roll really smoothly, feel solid but not heavy.

I put Rubino Pro 28 cm clinchers on. Didn't need to use tire levers and it wasn't too much work to get them on. It was a tight fit. Took a few minutes to go around the wheel a couple of times to get the beads lined up in the center of the rim. Then it was no problem to get that last section of bead to slide over the rim.

This wheeltire combination rolls very efficiently in comparison to other bikes on long downhill stretches.

A nice upgrade from the Mavic Aksium set I had on before.

I am a wheel builder and I could not build them this affordably.

Out of the box, they are incredibly true, the spoke tension is very uniform and the dish is perfect.

The rims are 21.5 mm wide and I am impressed with the build quality.

The spokes are double butted and bladed.

The front wheel uses smaller spokes than the rear.

The engineers have carefully designed these wheels to be light and relatively strong.

These are for my girl friend ... she is 63 inches tall and weighs 112 lbs.

For a small rider, I think these wheels will be very durable.

I am 72 inches tall and weigh 192 lbs. ... I doubt that they would be strong enough for me.

I live in WV, where the terrain is very hilly and the roads tend to be rough in places.

The wheels are attractive and I like the cup and cone bearings.

Shimano's new system uses an Allen wrench and has made the maintenance much easier.

I highly recommend this wheel-set for a small rider.

I have two sets of these wheels, one on my cxgravel bike and another on my steel road bike. For my road bike, I have them set up tubeless with tubeless ready 28mm Hutchinson Sectors which is a great combination in terms of comfortride quality. However, the setup for the rear tire was really hard and required experimenting with different sealants and I and the shop tried many times (12) before it finally held. For gravel, I have a set of clement 32 xplor's which I really like. I haven't tried tubeless because my tires aren't tubeless ready, but I intend to buy the tubeless ready kind next and try them out. The combination is great-good balance of comfort, durability and weight. For what I use these wheels for, I can't recommend them enough, as long as you're willing to put the time in to get the tubeless to work. They get 4 and not 5 stars because of the difficulty with tubeless setup.

This wheelset has a couple hundred miles in been a great addition to the daily commute. Using it with a 9-speed SRAM cassette and Gatorskin tires and have had no issues whatsoever. The design is significantly more aerodynamic than other comparable wheels and they are holding up nicely in the grimy winter conditions. For every day usage this is a very solid choice and if you can grab them with any discount are well worth the price.

Purchased these about a month ago and have put approximately 200 miles on them at this point. Wheels are much lighter than my previous set that came with my road bike. I can tell a difference during both shortlong climbs. Wheels have remained true up to this point. I will say the tires were difficult to install on the rims. However, I highly recommend these as a very solid upgrade.

I bought the wheelset for a backup and mounted 25mm continental tires. Wheels accelerate quickly and feel stiff.

My hand-built wheels have now become my backup. Only complaint was mounting the rear tire. After researching online I

Found this to be a common issue with this wheelset, but also found the solution.

Nice solid option for those guys who don't want to run carbon wheels. While the race enthusiast might consider these training wheels, rec riders like myself will be very happy with these wheels as our daily riders. They are fairly light and a noticeable difference climbing hills. I went from a 1800gm wheel to these and these seem to spin up quicker and feel lighter. I'm currently running tubes but like the option of heading tubeless when I decide. I just wish Conti made some tubeless tires.

Much better than Ksyriums, imo. Quieter and last longer, also easier to rebuild the hubs. Price was great and fast delivery.

Very happy w Ultegra wheelset- very true out of the box- a big upgrade from stock wheels-

Significant difference from my stock wheels. Glad I upgraded. Next is brakes

Great Product totally worth the money

Better ride and stability. Bike feels more solid and improved my pace.

Worth every penny!

Super happy with this wheelset as an upgrade to the factory wheels on my road bike. Pretty light and strong to boot.

I upgraded my stock wheels with these Ultegras and I couldn't be happier. The right weigh and tubeless options give a versatility at a phenomenal price

Run these on my TIme ZXRs race bike for mainly training rides and occasionally a few races.

Everything a good reliable wheelset needs to be. Rolls true, reasonably light. I haven't tried out tubeless tires yet. But 400 miles so far on them in the last 2 months and I really like them. For the price, they can't be beat!

This set of wheels should be part of any new bicycle is great!! The availability to run tubeless or clinchers is perfect, I have no problems installing tubeless tires Hutchinson Intensive 2 700x25 and regular clinchers Continental Grand Prix 4000s II 700x25.

Is the perfect training wheels they are not light 1640 grams but they are smooth rolling. The trick to install tubeless tires is to wet with soapy water the bead of the tire and it will go without a problem and remember to add latex sealant every other month specially in the hot summer days.
