Wheelset 29 "XC | Industry Nine MTB 6-hole hubs | Race Face aluminum rims
intended use : Cross Country XC
With this wheelset, racers can really get it down. The indestructible Industry Nine hubs and the stable Race Face rims also forgive a driving mistake. The balanced selection of components guarantees high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
The Industry Nine Hydra Classic hubs are a real gem on every bike. Developed and produced in Asheville, North Carolina, they favorably set themselves apart from the competition with many small technical refinements. With their externally sealed bearing and stable axle , they are ideally protected against environmental influences and are also ideally equipped for downhill use. Tapered spoke flanges help to reduce the forces on the sensitive spoke heads and thus prevent spoke breaks.
However, the pawl freewheel on the rear wheel hub is revolutionary. It consists of a drive ring with 115 teeth and 6 staggered pawls. These are designed so that as soon as one of them has a frictional connection, the others can also absorb torques shortly afterwards. Thus, a single jack only has the power to carry on its own for a very short time. The big plus of this system is an extremely short free travel with 0.52 °, which brings clear advantages in technical passages or when hard starts. In addition, the fine grid leads to a unique soundscape on the impeller.
The maintenance effort is also relatively low. You can disassemble and clean the hub without tools.
rims
The ARC rim has become one of the favorite rims of wheel builders from all over the world. With the new offset variants, even stiffer and more durable wheels can be built. This is achieved through a more balanced spoke tension between the drive side and the non-drive side.
A specially shaped rim bed with a central recess and minimalistic, short hooks on the rim flange keep the tire securely on the rim in every situation, even at low air pressures. The larger contact area of the tire also significantly improves grip.
The rim is made of forged aluminum 6069, the joint is inserted and is additionally glued in order to increase durability and reduce weight. The black anodized finish saves weight and gives the rims with their vinyl decals a subtle look. Of course, the rims can be converted for tubeless use.
Wheel construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are completely assembled by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire construction, 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 has not been caused by violence!
You will also receive the following services for our wheels:
A universal impeller bag for all common sizes.
A spare spoke + nipple in all required spoke lengths in order to be able to repair the wheel at short notice even after accidents.
A free initial inspection of the wheel, in 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 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge the material!
