R2BIKE wheelset 28" Disc GRV | DT Swiss 350 Road Center Lock hubs | Newmen Gravel Carbon rims
Application: Gravel GRV
This lightweight yet stable wheelset is the first choice for dedicated gravel or cross bikers. The well-balanced selection of components guarantees high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
DT Swiss hubs stand for simple construction and maximum reliability. Thanks to the use of elaborate seals and bearing sizes adapted to the loads, the hubs do not require any adjustment of the bearing play. This means that the rider does not have to worry about the function of the hubs for years! Should a service be necessary after tens of thousands of kilometers, the hubs can be disassembled and serviced within a few minutes without special tools thanks to the DT Swiss plug-in system.
Thanks to their simple but well thought-out design, the current 350 hubs have become significantly lighter compared to the previous versions. The proven ratchet freehub system of the DT-Swiss 240 hubs makes the hubs an extremely reliable companion. Compared to pawl systems, the ratchet freehub offers a more even power transmission, which significantly reduces wear. With 36 teeth, the hub reacts very directly to acceleration. The new shape of the end caps makes disassembly even easier, making it even easier to convert to other axle standards.
Rims
Like all Newmen carbon rims, the Advanced SL X.R.25 impresses with its first-class mechanical properties and very low weight and is the ideal basis for a lightweight gravel wheelset.
The hookless construction makes it ideal for tubeless use, while the significantly reinforced rim flange is better able to withstand possible punctures and allows riding with low air pressure. In order to avoid weak points and increase durability, the spoke holes have been drilled using a special process without damaging the structure of the carbon fibres. The generous inner width for gravel rims also provides reliable support for wide tires. The slightly outward-positioned sidewalls make the shape of the tire rounder, resulting in significantly better cornering grip and increased safety.
Wheel construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire assembly process, great importance is attached to ensuring that not only the concentricity is correct, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. This special care allows us to give the first owner a lifetime guarantee against spoke breakage, as long as it was not caused by force.
The following services are also included for first-time buyers:
You get a universal wheel bag for all common sizes included.
You will receive a spare spoke with nipple in all required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel quickly after an accident.
Within 2 years of purchase, you will receive a free initial inspection of the wheel, during which the resulting work is completely free of charge. There are only shipping costs.
You get a crash replacement promise: If your wheel is damaged within 2 years of purchase due to force majeure, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
