R2BIKE Wheelset 29" XC | Extralite MTB Straightpull 6-hole hubs | Race Face aluminum rims
intended use : Cross Country XC
With this wheel set, even racers can really let it rip. The light Extralite hubs and the stable Race Face rims also forgive a driving mistake. The balanced selection of components guarantees you high reliability and a long service life.
hubs
The Extralite hubs set standards in all respects. They are light, beautiful, reliable and convertible to different axle type standards. The design of the hubs has been optimized using modern simulation technology and, with the oversized shape, offers an optimal power flow in the material.
The freewheel is realized via a toothed disc, which engages directly with a toothing incorporated in the freewheel. In order to safely transmit even the highest forces, all teeth always mesh. This not only results in a noticeably lower idle travel until adhesion, but also an incomparable sound. This extremely direct power transmission offers clear advantages, especially when accelerating hard or in technically difficult terrain. In addition, the 2nd generation has an improved seal between the hub body and the freewheel and is easier to maintain. If the teeth are worn out, they can be replaced and the function restored.
The main advantages of straightpull hubs are, in addition to the more modern design, non-contact spokes that do not cause any unpleasant noise and spoke heads that cannot work into the spoke flange. If desired, the straightpull hubs can also be spoked crosswise.
rims
The ARC rim has become one of the favorite rims of wheel builders from all over the world. With the new offset variants, even stiffer and more durable wheels can be built. This is achieved by a more balanced spoke tension between the drive side and non-drive side.
A specially shaped rim base with a central recess and minimalist, short hooks on the rim flange keeps the tire securely on the rim in every situation, even with low air pressure. The larger contact surface of the tire also significantly improves grip.
The rim is made of forged aluminum 6069, the butt is pinned and additionally glued to increase durability and reduce weight. The black anodized finish saves weight and gives the rims a subtle look with their vinyl decals. Of course, the rims can be converted for tubeless use.
Impeller construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire construction, it is important that not only the concentricity is right, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. The special care allows us to give a lifetime guarantee against broken spokes, as long as this is not caused by violence!
You will also receive the following services with our wheels:
A universal impeller bag for all common sizes.
A spare spoke + nipple in all required spoke lengths to be able to repair the impeller at short notice even after an accident.
A free initial check of the impeller, where the resulting work is completely free! Only shipping costs are charged.
A crash replacement promise. If your wheel is damaged due to force majeure, we will rebuild your wheel once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material!
