R2BIKE Wheelset 29" XC | Industry Nine MTB 6-hole hubs | MCFK carbon rims
Range of use: Cross Country XC to Trail TR
With this wheelset, even racers can really let it rip. The indestructible Industry Nine hubs and the superbly crafted MCFK rims are forgiving of the occasional riding error, while the well-balanced selection of components guarantees a high level of reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
The Industry Nine Hydra Classic hubs are a real gem on any bike. Developed and produced in Asheville / North Carolina, they set themselves apart from the competition with many small technical refinements. With their externally sealed bearings and stable axles, they are optimally protected against environmental influences and are also ideally equipped for downhill use. Beveled spoke flanges help to reduce the forces on the sensitive spoke heads and thus prevent spoke breakage.
However, the pawl freewheel on the rear hub is revolutionary. It consists of a drive ring with 115 teeth and 6 staggered pawls. These are designed so that as soon as one of them engages, the others can also absorb torque shortly afterwards. This means that a single pawl only has to bear the force alone for a very short time. The big advantage of this system is the extremely short idle travel of 0.52°, which brings clear advantages in technical passages or when pedaling hard. In addition, the fine ratcheting leads to a unique noise level on the wheel.
The maintenance effort is also relatively low. You can disassemble and clean the hub without tools.
Rims
The lightweight, stable and beautifully finished carbon rims come from the lightweight construction specialist MCFK. These offer an exclusive and flawless look and demonstrate the Leipzig-based company's many years of experience.MCFK has opted for hookless rim flanges for perfect tubeless compatibility. These have been reinforced without any increase in weight and are much more resistant to punctures. This allows the air pressure to be reduced and the riding characteristics to be improved. Laminated instead of conventionally drilled spoke holes provide extra stability and additional durability. The asymmetrical construction enables a more even spoke tension, which further increases the stiffness of a complete 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 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.
