Description
Wheelset 29" AM | DT Swiss 350 MTB Center Lock hubs | Duke Carbon rims
intended use : All Mountain AM
Stable, functional and also inexpensive - this is the best way to characterize this wheelset. The combination of Duke carbon rims and the proven DT-Swiss hubs should therefore always be shortlisted. The balanced selection of components guarantees you high reliability and a long service life.
hubs
Switzerland is known for good chocolate, first-class cheese and wonders of precision engineering. The dedication to detail that produces these products is also reflected in the DT Swiss 350 hubs. Above all, the love for mechanics is easy to identify. Due to their simple but well thought-out construction, the current 350 hubs have become significantly lighter compared to the previous versions. The Ratchet freewheel system, tried and tested by the DT-Swiss 240 hubs, makes the hubs an extremely reliable companion. Compared to pawl systems, the built-in toothed disk freewheel offers a more extensive power transmission, which significantly reduces wear. With 36 teeth, the hub reacts very directly to acceleration. The new shape of the end caps makes dismantling even easier, so that changing over to other axle type is even easier.
rims
Duke has managed to improve the rim compared to the SLS3 version. In doing so, they have once again pushed the apparently technically possible limits. A 30mm wide rim weighing just 371g is a direct challenge to the competition.
How did the French do this? They took a closer look at the individual elements of the rim and looked for optimization options. In particular, a new resin was used. This not only made it possible to slim down, but also to increase impact resistance at the same time. Similar to the SLS3 production process, post-processing or painting is not necessary here either.
The rim flange is hookless and reinforced. This avoids damage in the event of punctures. In addition, the anti-burp technology prevents the tire from slipping or jumping off the rim and thus possible air loss.
The rim has an asymmetrical rim profile, which allows a more even angle of the spokes. This optimization of the spoke angle brings with it a multitude of advantages. The spoke tension on both sides can be better adjusted to each other, which is beneficial to the durability of the spokes and the entire wheel. The lateral stiffness, which is normally directional, is also adjusted so that the impeller itself becomes stiffer.
With the "6Ters" concept, Duke goes its own way. The cross-section of the rims is different on the front and rear wheels. At the front, the larger inner width allows for more grip and rigidity, while at the rear, emphasis was placed on impact resistance and comfort.
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. This special care allows us to give a lifetime guarantee against broken spokes, as long as this is not caused by violence.
Furthermore, the following services are already included:
You get a universal wheel bag for all common sizes.
You get a replacement spoke with nipples in all required spoke lengths, so that you can repair the wheel at short notice after an accident.
You get a free initial inspection of the impeller, with the resulting work being completely free. 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 grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
