R2BIKE wheelset 29" XC DC | Tune MTB Straightpull 6-hole hubs | Duke aluminum rims
Application: Cross Country XC, Down Country DC
With this wheelset, even racers can really let it rip. The indestructible Tune hubs and the superbly crafted Duke rims are forgiving of the occasional riding error. The well-balanced selection of components guarantees you a high level of reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
As usual with Tune, the new Nano Boost hubs are CNC-milled from 7075 aluminum. The special feature of the front hub is a new hub flange that does not require a carbon ring. The hubs come with improved seals and you no longer need washers to adjust the axial play. The symmetrical design ensures optimum balance of the front wheel. The POEtry138 freehub mechanism keeps play to a minimum when starting off, so that direct power transmission is possible. The straightpull lacing makes it possible to create an extremely stiff wheel and the tensile forces of the spokes are transmitted in a material-appropriate manner. In addition, the absence of the spoke bend eliminates the weak point of the spokes and guarantees a durable wheelset.
Like all Tune hubs, the Nano Boost is produced, milled and assembled entirely in the Black Forest.
Rims
The rims from Duke in France stand for low weight and excellent workmanship. The hookless design is ideal for the use of 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.
