SYNTACE rim 29" W40i aluminum | 28 holes
In the past, narrow rims and heavy tires were the norm. Today, however, wide rims can be combined with new, lightweight tire types. But really wide, high-quality rims were inevitably still a little heavier than their narrow brothers, otherwise the durability suffered. Syntace was the first to break this vicious circle in 2011. The original Syntace rim W33 was the first such wide and light aluminum rim on the market. After more than 5 years of experience, it was improved with an even better aluminum alloy and a profile that was further developed in many test bench runs and made another 50 g lighter.
The enlarged nipple seat diameter (spoke hole 5.1 mm) enables the nipples to be embedded at the correct angle and prevents the spokes from bending when the number of spokes is small and the spoke lengths are short. The spherical contact area of the ABS Lock nipples on the spoke hole guarantees perfect alignment with the spoke and a force-appropriate structure is achieved for heavily loaded wheels.
Stronger than the spoke
Significantly more crack-resistant spoke anchoring in the base of the rim thanks to the SmoothFit profile. Perfectly angle-correct embedding of the nipples in the rim base. More durable than previous rim bases or mere washers, which add weight to the rim but do not reinforce the edge of the spoke hole.
A notice:
This rim has 5.1 mm spoke holes and requires the ABS Lock FG2.3 spoke nipples developed by Syntace to build a wheel!
V shape
From the inventor of the slanted, massively reinforced rim flanges on MTB rims. Profile created in long series of tests with holding groove for the best possible tire fit. 25% greater stability as well as the tire width and traction of a 2mm wider rim.
