Wheelset 29" XC | Extralite MTB Straightpull 6-hole 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 lightweight Extralite hubs and the superbly crafted Newmen rims are forgiving of the occasional riding error, while the well-balanced selection of components guarantees high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
The Extralite hubs set standards in all respects. They are light, attractive, reliable and can be converted to different axle standards. The design of the hubs is optimized using modern simulation technology and the oversized shape offers an optimum flow of force in the material.
The freewheel is realized via a toothed pulley that engages directly with a toothing inserted into the freewheel. In order to transmit even the highest forces safely, all teeth always engage with each other. This not only results in a noticeably shorter freewheel travel until power is applied, but also an incomparable sound. This extremely direct power transmission offers clear advantages, especially when pedaling hard or in technically difficult terrain. The 2nd generation also has an improved seal between the hub shell and freehub and is easier to maintain. If the gearing is ever worn, it can be replaced and the function restored.
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 do not 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.
