Mercury Wheels G1 Carbon Disc Wheelset - Tubeless reviews and deals for sale

Love my G1’s!

I absolutely love these wheels. Mercury nails it with these G1’s. Amazing ride quality and very well built. Great craftsmanship. Just overall great gravel wheelset.

The most important upgrade to a bike!!!

Wow, what an amazing wheelset created by Mercury Cycles! The G1 wheelset has transformed my BIANCHI Impulso All-Road into a gravel eating machine. It has inspired the confidence needed to tackle the gnarliest off road adventures. The wheels have lightened my bike and are stiff. FACT: a high end wheelset is the most important upgrade you can make on your bike.

Sweet Deal!

I bought these about 10 months ago for my gravel bike and have put over 1500 miles on these with no issues. The wheels are light and very durable. Great value.

Not Compatible with SRAM Disc Callipers

Well, these are not compatible with SRAM Disc brakes. I called competitive cyclist and they told that it is well known. I had to use shims, got it to work, but beware.

Great value!

This wheelset replaced the Ibis D30 hoops that came with my Hakka MX. These are wider and deeper making them a great match for the 40mm Maxxis Rambler's I use on gravel.

Great Wheelset!

I’ve had these wheels for over a year with over 1800 miles and no issues at all. I am a bigger guy at over 210 and put a lot of pressure on wheels and have had issues in the past with wheels not holding up. These wheels are light and super smooth rolling plus they take a beaten. They look great with the grey decals. Totally worth the money.

Great Buy!

Finally a nice set of carbon gravel wheels that fit perfectly on my Niner RLT. I’ve been on a few weekend trips with them and am looking forward to my week long trek. The wheels are light and very durable plus they take a beating. Love these.

Nice Gravel wheels!

I have had G1 wheels for 1 year now. I'm running 700x42 tires on them. Tubeless setup was easy. This combination works great. These wheels are amazingly light and tough as nails plus they look good.

Great upgrade!

The wheels are a big upgrade from my Stans wheelset. Going on 10 months so far and everything is good. Lighter, wider and feel right. Smooth hubs. Tubeless set up was very easy. Very happy with purchase.

100% Satisfied!!!

Coming up on 2 years on these and what a great wheelset. They’re light and very responsive plus they take a beating. Very good hubset that are smooth rolling. Also like the stealth grey decals.

Impressive!

One year in at over 2000 miles and no issues at all. I have some 42c mounted on them and they feel good. Highly recommend.

Pelplexed

I've had this wheelset for nearly two years now and have put close to 2.5k miles on them. I use this set for gravel road racing and training. I am 160 lbs. and competitive but do not beat up my hardware. So far I have had two random rear wheel spokes go ping, one cost me a move up the podium when I had to stop and tuck it in. The last one was just yesterday on a training ride.… read more Given the fact that these are carefully crafted, hand built wheels I'm perplexed by this. After the first break I called Mercury to make sure I got identical replacement spokes, made the fix then made sure all were properly tensioned and adjusted as needed with a meter. I thought the first was a fluke but now I am wondering if there is something else going on. I'm not reading of any other spoke issues so to reiterate, I'm perplexed. If I have another break I'll be in touch with Mercury . For years I've stuck with straight pull only spokes in my wheels and have had NO issues. When I read about these I thought it sounded like a good chance to try j bend again. So far I'm not feel'n the love.

Great Deal!

Purchased a set of these wheels initially for a 50 mile gravel race. I am 200 pounds and put a lot of pressure on wheels and have had issues in the past with wheels not holding up. These wheels are amazingly light and tough as nails. Great product totally worth the money.

seem good so far

I haven't put a ton of miles on these yet (maybe 120-150) but so far they seem to work well. I got these to be able to quickly swap out a gravel wheelset for a my road wheelset (which are also a carbon Mercury, which I love) I don't feel as though I have lost anything by useing these wheels with my gravel tires vs. my gravel tires on my road Mercury wheels, so that must mean something.… read more

Great upgrade!

Very happy with this new carbon wheelset as an upgrade to my factory wheels. These G1’s are very light and extremely durable. Over a 2100 miles on them with no issues. Straight as the day I pulled them out of the box. Great job mercury.

Awesome wheelsets!

1 year and counting. Lightweight and snappy right out of the box. I have some Hutch 42c tires mounted to them and they fit great. I've ridden through some very muddy and nasty conditions and the bearings still feel smooth. I was a little worried about the limited spokes on the rear but it has held up to my 190Ibs just fine. Highly recommend.

Great Gravel wheelset!

Coming up on one year on my G1’s and everything is good. Smooth rolling and they take a beating. Two thumbs up.

Love my G1’s!

Wow! Great wheelset at a great price. Over a 1200 miles on them with no issues. Super sturdy, light and very well built. I’ve been running 40mm tires and they’re good. Happy with my purchase.

Loving them a year in, but beware!

At least for the set I bought, their hubs were the old style (T model, not their 2018 hubs), which meant that I had to get a more expensive/older (???) version of Mercury's XD body to upgrade. This model wasn't on Competitive Cyclist, so I had no idea it existed. I bought the XD driver on here, it didn't fit, then went on to discover the other model on Mercury's site. TLDR: make… read more sure you check the model # on the side of the hub: if it starts with a T, I'd contact Mercury to make sure you get the right XD driver. Apart from this confusion, I've used these with 42mm gravel tires and 28mm road tires and they perform flawlessly in both cases. Absolutely love these things.

Mercury Gravel G1’s!

The wheels are a big change from the Easton set. Lighter, wider and feel more responsive. Good hubs. Tubeless set up was very easy. Tough as nails and they stay true. Highly recommend.

Will these wheels work with 30 mm tires or will it require a wider one?

How would these wheels fair as dedicated CX racing wheels? I love the rim width, 1500g weight, and reported responsiveness/stiffness. All of these sound like a fast, durable race set. Though I know they're purpose made for gravel/endurance. Thoughts on using for CX? Thanks!

Can both wheels be convert to QR?

What is the difference between the first option and the second? The first says "black" Shimano/SRAM and the second Centerlock Shimano HG?

can I use these wheels on my disc road bike?

Does this wheel have a max rider weight?

Considering the Mercury G1 wheels for a build but see the Mercury site says min tire recommendation is 35mm. Anyone use these with a smaller tire? Thinking of using a 28mm.

What's the max pressure?

On the Mercury website it states that these wheels ship with the adapters to switch to QR and to 15 mm in the front. Do those come included if the wheels are purchased from Backcountry? If not can you get them and for how much? Thanks.

the description mentions they have adapters for QR skewers but only specifically state the front wheel is adaptable. is the rear wheel also adaptable to QR skewers?
