  • Application: Road, Gravel, Cross Country, Trail
    Weight incl. nipple: approx. 5.45g (1 piece)

    The wing spoke made of cold drawn Sweden steel has an elliptical shape which takes advantage of the flat, light and aerodynamically more favorable but weak aero spoke and the stronger but less aerodynamic and heavy classic round spoke. This gives it the diameter necessary for torque transmission and at the same time favorable and superior aerodynamic properties with low weight!

  • The nipples are made of brass in order to achieve the best possible and long-lasting result in terms of color. The robust material is insensitive to corrosion and does not stick to the thread of your spokes, so that re-centering is still possible without any problems even after years of use. In addition, they are neither attacked nor damaged by any sealing milk that may have got into the rim well.

Description

Wheelset 29 "XC | Chris King MTB Center Lock hubs | Alchemist carbon rims

intended use : Cross Country XC to light All-Mountain AM

With this wheelset, even racers can really let it go. The indestructible Chris King hubs and the excellently crafted Alchemist rims forgive driving mistakes. The balanced selection of components guarantees you a high level of reliability and a long service life.

Hubs
There is a certain myth attached to CHRIS KING hubs. They have been on the market almost unchanged for years and yet are not old fashioned. Thanks to the proven technical inner workings, constant further development in detail and unmistakable appearance, they have developed into a true cult object.
Due to the large hub flange of the ISO hubs, shorter spokes can be used when building wheels. This not only saves weight, but also enables a very stable and durable bike.
The unmistakable sound of the freewheel is the hallmark of the rear hubs. Chris King himself called it "Angry Bee Sound", the sound of the angry bee, which is generated by the 72 grid points of the stainless steel toothed disc. With this 3-part RingDrive system, every step is immediately converted into propulsion without a large amount of idle travel.
The heart of the hub are the ball bearings. These are also developed and produced directly by Chris King. This means that they can be fully adapted to the specific loads and forces. The multiple seals mean that water or dirt cannot penetrate.

rims
Alchemist carbon rims are made in Italy. Toray UD carbon fibers are used as the starting material. These are held in shape by a break-proof nanopolymer synthetic resin, which is also used in Formula 1 cockpits, and thus result in a resilient carbon rim with increased impact resistance. Technical details such as reinforced spoke holes, hybrid rim flanges and an asymmetrical profile leave no potential unused. The low weight, coupled with rigidity, offers unmatched reactivity and accuracy at high speeds and changes of direction.

Please note the maximum permissible system weight in the selection menu for the rim under "Display description".


Wheel construction at R2-Bike

Our wheels are completely assembled by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire construction process, it is important that not only the concentricity is correct, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. The special care allows us to give a lifelong guarantee against broken spokes, as long as this was not caused by force!

You will also receive the following services for our balance bikes:

A universal impeller bag for all common sizes.
A spare spoke + nipple in all spoke lengths required to be able to repair the wheel at short notice even after an accident.
A free initial inspection of the impeller, during which the resulting work is completely free! Only shipping costs are charged.
A crash replacement promise. If your wheel is damaged due to force majeure, we will rebuild your wheel once. We grant a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge the material!
