Wheelset 29" XC | DT Swiss 180 EXP MTB Straightpull Center Lock hubs | Newmen Carbon rims
Range of use: Cross Country XC to light Trail TR
With this wheelset, even racers can really let it rip. The indestructible DT Swiss hubs and the superbly crafted Newmen rims are forgiving of the occasional riding error, while the well-balanced selection of components guarantees you a high level of reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
Lighter, stiffer, more precise and easier to maintain - these are the strengths of the DT Swiss 180 hubs. The smooth-running SINC Ceramic ball bearings offer you a further decisive advantage; they ensure minimal rolling resistance. The stiffness of the hub body serves to distribute the load more evenly on the spokes. Drive and braking forces are transmitted even better from both spoke flanges to all spokes. One-sided load peaks are prevented, which protects the hub, spokes and rim. The RATCHET EXP toothed disc freewheel has also been further developed. This highly reliable system ensures direct power transmission without losses.
The main advantages of Straightpull hubs, apart from the modern design, are contactless spokes that do not cause any unpleasant noises and spoke heads that cannot work their way into the spoke flange. However, if desired, the straightpull hubs can also be cross-spoked.
Rims
Advanced becomes Phase - Newmen provides a special rim for every area of application within this series. Whether cross-country, all-mountain or enduro, you always get an uncompromisingly customized model, but they all have one thing in common: Newmen's high quality.
The Phase Light front and rear or in combination with a Phase Base rim on the rear wheel are the first choice for every racer. They shine with the lowest weight and first-class riding characteristics. The perfectly processed carbon fibers are extremely impact-resistant and give the rim incredible stability. This means that precise steering movements are possible at all times. A special production process makes reworking and painting unnecessary. This saves even more grams.
The very generous inner width of 30 mm, together with the slightly outward-positioned sidewall, gives the tire an optimally round shape, which is reflected in better grip and more comfort.Newmen has opted for a hookless rim flange, which has been reinforced and is better able to withstand possible punctures. This means that you can ride with less air pressure and achieve optimum tubeless compatibility.
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.
