R2BIKE Wheelset 29" XC | Ursus Straightpull 6-hole hubs | Race Face aluminum rims
intended use : Cross Country XC
Stable, functional and inexpensive - this is how this wheelset can best be described. The combination of Race Face aluminum rims and the robust Ursus hubs should therefore always be on the shortlist. The 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 northern Italy. With almost 50 years of experience in development and manufacturing, they have built a comprehensive portfolio of bicycle components. All components are developed in-house, manufactured and tested on modern CNC machines, ensuring 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 aluminum 7075 and a 15 mm axle . By choosing large bearings with a good LLU/LLB seal and additional splash protection in front of the bearings, a long service life with minimal maintenance is achieved.
The special shape of the 6-hole mount ensures optimal distribution of the braking forces and thus leads to a more sensitive braking feeling.
rims
The ARC rim is now 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 at low air pressures. The larger contact surface of the tire also significantly improves grip.
The rim is made of forged aluminum 6069, the joint is plugged 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.
Wheel construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire construction, it is important to ensure 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 broken spokes, as long as they are not caused by violence.
The following services are also already included:
You get a universal wheel bag for all common sizes.
You will receive a replacement spoke with a nipple in all the required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel at short notice 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 charged.
You get a crash replacement promise: If your wheel is damaged due to force majeure, we will rebuild it once. We offer a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
