R2BIKE wheelset 28" Disc RR | DT Swiss 240 EXP Road Center Lock hubs | Duke Carbon rims
Application: Road bike RR, Gravel GRV, Time trial
Road cyclists are looking for the best compromise between weight, aerodynamics and stiffness. The combination of Duke carbon rims and the indestructible DT Swiss 240 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
The carbon rims from Duke in France stand for outstanding workmanship and low weight. Thanks to the SLS2 manufacturing technology developed by Duke, the latter has been reduced by around 10% compared to other rims, while at the same time increasing durability and stability. The use of highly modular carbon fibers also improves the inherent damping, which benefits increased riding comfort. The modified structure also allows the unrestricted use of modern tubeless tires.
Please note the maximum permissible system weight in the rim selection menu under "Show description".
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.
