R2BIKE wheelset 29" XC DC | DT Swiss 350 MTB Center Lock hubs | Duke aluminum rims
Application: Cross Country XC, Down Country DC
Stable, functional and inexpensive - that's the best way to characterize this wheelset. The combination of Duke aluminum rims and the proven DT-Swiss hubs should therefore always be on your shortlist. The well-balanced selection of components guarantees you a high level of reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
Switzerland is known for good chocolate, first-class cheese and marvels of precision engineering. The dedication to detail that goes into these products is also reflected in the DT Swiss 350 hubs. Above all, the love of mechanics is easy to see. 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. Even in the standard version with 36 teeth, the hub responds very directly to pedaling. With the DEG model, virtually no free travel is noticeable. The new shape of the end caps makes disassembly even easier, making it even easier to convert to other axle standards.
Rims
The rims from Duke in 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.
