R2BIKE wheelset 28" Disc RR | DT Swiss 240 EXP Road Center Lock hubs | DT Swiss aluminum rims
Application: Road bike RR, Gravel GRV
Road cyclists are always looking for the best compromise between weight, aerodynamics and stiffness. The combination of DT Swiss aluminum rims and their indestructible hubs should therefore always be on your shortlist. The balanced selection of components guarantees you high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
Lighter, stiffer, more precise and easier to maintain - these are the strengths of the new DT Swiss 240 hubs. These properties have been achieved thanks to Ratchet EXP technology. This not only means that the hubs have fewer components and therefore lower weight and less wear, it also allows the bearing on the drive side to be positioned much further out. The greater distance between the bearings results in greater hub rigidity, lower bearing loads and therefore greater durability. The stiffness on the hub body serves to distribute the load more evenly on the spokes. Drive and braking forces are transmitted even better from both spoke flanges to all spokes. One-sided load peaks are prevented, which protects the hub, spokes and rim. The super reliable toothed pulley freehub system with its large contact surface and 36 engagement points ensures extremely direct and reliable power transmission.
Rims
DT Swiss has stood for innovative products of the highest quality for years. Starting out as a manufacturer of high-quality spokes, the company has continuously expanded its product range. Since 2004, the Swiss company has also included rims in its range, which it is constantly improving based on feedback from professional cyclists and taking into account new developments in materials and manufacturing. Today, DT Swiss rims are among the most popular on the market.
Thanks to elaborate FEM analyses, only as much material as absolutely necessary is used at each point of the aluminum rims. They are joined using the SBWT® welding process. The rim is stabilized with a block during welding and then CNC machined to guarantee a seamless transition.
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 will receive a universal wheel bag for all common sizes.
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, where the resulting work is completely free of charge. Only shipping costs apply.
You get a crash replacement promise: If your wheel is damaged due to force majeure within 2 years of purchase, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
