R2BIKE Wheelset 29" XC | DT Swiss 240 EXP MTB Straightpull Center Lock hubs | Porte Carbon rims
Application: Cross Country XC
With this wheelset you are guaranteed to be the fastest. The indestructible DT Swiss hubs and the lightweight Porte rims ensure propulsion at all times, while the balanced selection of components guarantees 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 to be positioned much further out on the drive side. 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 PORTE Rathe rims play in the absolute top league of lightweight rims for XC racing. Their combination of an above-average inner width of 30 millimeters and very low weight is record-breaking. In practice, this results in an extremely easy to accelerate rim and a very stable running tire, even at very low air pressures. In addition, the large inner width allows tires up to 2.7" wide to be used. The tubeless inner profile ensures a secure fit of the tire on the hookless rim. The low weight of the handmade rims was achieved thanks to the relatively low profile height of just 21 millimetres. The asymmetrical spoke holes with an offset of 2 millimetres provide the necessary rigidity in the wheel. A reinforced rim bed provides secure support for the spoke nipples and makes the wheels more stable.
In order to guarantee the safety of their components, all BERG components have undergone extensive tests according to ISO standards in Germany in addition to intensive test rides. In order to guarantee the high quality standards in the long term, the tests are repeated for different product batches.
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 offer a lifetime guarantee against spoke breakage as long as it is not caused by force.
The following services are also included:
You will receive a universal wheel bag for all common sizes.
You will receive a replacement spoke with nipple in all required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel quickly after an accident.
You will receive a free initial inspection of the wheel, where 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, we will rebuild it once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
