R2BIKE wheelset 29" XC | Carbon-Ti MTB Straightpull 6-hole hubs | Duke aluminum rims
Area of application: Cross Country XC, Down Country DC
XC racers always want to win and are therefore looking for lightweight yet stable wheels. The combination of Duke aluminum rims and Carbon-Ti hubs should therefore always be on your shortlist. The balanced selection of components guarantees you high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
The bodies of the X-Hub SP hubs are elaborately CNC-milled and rotate around a multi-butted aluminum axle. With a diameter of 17 mm, this provides the hub with a high level of rigidity. High-quality, double-sealed ball bearings are used, which ensure a permanently silky-smooth running. The axle play can be easily adjusted by hand from the outside. The new pre-load adjustment ring is now easier to operate.
The freewheel on the rear hub engages via four pawls, each with three teeth, in a 56-fold titanium ring gear to withstand even the most powerful riders.
The main advantages of the Straightpull hubs, apart from the modern design, are contactless spokes that do not cause any unpleasant noises and spoke heads that cannot work their way into the spoke flange. However, if desired, the straightpull hubs can also be cross-spoked.
Rims
Duke rims from France stand for low weight and excellent workmanship. The hookless design is ideal for use with tubeless systems. The reinforced bead means that any punctures can be better absorbed without causing damage. The fairly flat and wide rims reliably support the tire in any situation.
The asymmetrical shape enables a more even spoke tension, which further increases the stiffness of the entire wheel.
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. Only shipping costs are incurred.
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.
