R2BIKE Wheelset 29" XC TR | Ursus Straightpull 6-hole hubs | Newmen aluminum rims
Application: Cross Country XC, Trail TR
Stable, functional and inexpensive - that's the best way to characterize this wheelset. The combination of Newmen aluminum rims and the robust Ursus hubs should therefore always be on your shortlist. The well-balanced selection of components guarantees you high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
Ursus is an Italian bicycle company based in Rosà, a small town in the north of Italy. With almost 50 years of experience in development and production, they have built up a comprehensive portfolio of bicycle components. All components are developed in-house, manufactured on modern CNC machines and tested to ensure consistently high quality.
The Ursus XD51 is the right choice for anyone looking for a comparatively light and stiff hub. This is achieved by using 7075 aluminum and a 15 mm axle. The choice of large bearings with a good LLU/LLB seal and an additional splash guard in front of the bearings ensures a long service life with minimal maintenance.
The special shape of the 6-hole mount ensures optimum distribution of the braking forces, resulting in a more sensitive braking feel.
Rims
Newmen offers a special rim for every application within the Beskar series. Whether cross-country, all-mountain or downhill, you will always get a model that is uncompromisingly customized, but they all have one thing in common: Newmen's high quality.
With the Beskars 30 on your bike, you will be the absolute king on every adventure. They shine with low weight and first-class riding characteristics. The perfectly crafted aluminium is impact-resistant anodized and, together with the slightly angular cross-section, gives the rims incredible stability. This enables precise steering movements at all times. The rim joint has been elaborately welded and ground and guarantees a long service life. The very generous inner width of 30 mm gives the tire an optimally rounded shape, which is reflected in better grip and more comfort. The latter is also promoted by the very flat profile. Newmen has opted for a rim flange with hooks. This means that the tire sits securely at all times, even in difficult passages or with low air pressure, and the risk of it coming off is significantly minimized. Depending on the area of use, it is also reinforced and can easily withstand punctures.
Newmen also recommends the use of MG washer washers for the Beskar. These ensure very high "Spoke-Pull-Out" values on the rim base, despite the low wall thickness there, and thus bring additional rigidity to the 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.
