Wheelset 29 "XC | Newmen MTB Straightpull Center Lock hubs | Race Face aluminum rims
intended use : Cross Country XC
With this wheelset, racers can really get it down. The indestructible Newmen 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 Newmen FADE hubs will again find many fans. Again, you do not need to worry about adjusting the axial bearing play. The durable, double-sealed industrial bearings are tension-free and precisely pressed in ex works. This further development has gained a high degree of user friendliness. You can spend the saved time better on your favorite trail.
The design of the freewheel is completely different from the previous model. The goal was low noise. The FADE pawl system came out. 3 pawls engage in a new type of tooth profile. To increase durability, the diameter was increased and the individual pawls were made short and wide. The resulting forces are thus distributed over a large area.
Despite the relatively low weight, safety was not spared. Better to use a little more material in critical areas, such as. For example, at the transition between the brake disc holder and the spoke holder, as a risk of a defect.
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!
