Description
Wheelset 29" XC | Tune MTB straightpull 6-hole hubs | Alchemist carbon rims
intended use : Cross Country XC
With this wheel set, even racers can really let it rip. The indestructible Tune hubs and the excellently processed Alchemist rims also forgive a driving mistake. The balanced selection of components guarantees you high reliability and a long service life.
hubs
The Tune hubs are classics among the lightweight hubs for disc brakes. Originally developed for the MTB sector, they are now also among the best options for light road, cyclo-cross and gravel wheels. Not only can they be used to build light and durable wheels, thanks to their 17 millimeter axle system, they can be used extremely flexibly and can be converted to different axle type with minimal effort. The hub gets its high stability and strength from the production of aircraft aluminum. When it comes to freewheeling the rear wheel hub, Tune relies on the proven system with 3 pawls that engage in a 27-tooth titanium ring.
All Tune hubs are completely produced, milled and assembled in the Black Forest.
The main advantages of straightpull hubs, in addition to the more modern design, are non-contact spokes that do not cause any unpleasant noise and spoke heads that cannot work into the spoke flange. If desired, the straightpull hubs can also be laced crosswise.
rims
Alchemist carbon rims are made in Italy. Toray UD carbon fibers serve as the starting material. These are held in shape by an unbreakable nanopolymer synthetic resin, which is also used in Formula 1 cockpits, resulting 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 untapped. The low weight, paired with rigidity, offers unsurpassed responsiveness and accuracy at high speeds and changes of direction.
Please note the maximum permissible system weight in the rim's selection menu under "Show description".
Impeller construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire construction, it is important that not only the concentricity is right, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. The special care allows us to give a lifetime guarantee against broken spokes, as long as this is not caused by violence!
You will also receive the following services with our wheels:
A universal impeller bag for all common sizes.
A spare spoke + nipple in all required spoke lengths to be able to repair the impeller at short notice even after an accident.
A free initial check of the impeller, where 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 for the material!
