FAQs

Can I use this wheel with a non-Boost frame?

No, this wheel is specifically spaced for 148x12mm Boost frames and cannot be adapted to non-Boost standards.

Is the freehub body swappable?

Yes, the Pro 5 hub design allows for the freehub body to be swapped if you change cassette standards in the future.

What is the maximum tire pressure recommended?

Always follow the tire manufacturer's recommended pressure range, but note that the 35mm rim is optimized for lower pressures to maximize grip.

Does it come with a thru-axle?

No, the wheel is designed to work with your bike's existing 148x12mm thru-axle.

Can I run an inner tube with this rim?

Yes, while it is tubeless-ready, you can easily use a standard inner tube if preferred.

How often should I service the hub?

Service intervals depend on riding conditions, but it is recommended to inspect and clean the hub bearings and seals at least once a season.

Troubleshooting

Freehub engagement feels sluggish or skips

Clean the internal ratchets and re-lubricate with the manufacturer-recommended grease.

Difficulty seating tubeless tires

Ensure the rim tape is applied correctly and is not lifting, and check that the tire bead is fully seated in the rim's center channel.

Wheel feels out of true

Check spoke tension using a tension gauge and adjust; if significant, have a professional mechanic perform a truing service.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Near-instant power engagement with the Pro 5 hub
  • Wide 35mm rim profile enhances tire stability and cornering grip
  • Robust build quality suitable for aggressive riding
  • Excellent debris protection via Labyrinth seal technology
  • Ease of maintenance with high-quality components

Cons

  • Specific to 148x12mm Boost spacing, limiting compatibility with older frames
  • Requires an SRAM XD driver for cassette compatibility
  • Heavier weight profile due to focus on durability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This wheel is designed for modern frames utilizing 148x12mm Boost axle standards and requires an SRAM XD compatible cassette. To achieve a tubeless setup, apply high-quality tubeless rim tape and a compatible valve stem before seating your tire.

Care instructions:

  • Inspect spokes for tension after the first few rides, as new wheels may settle.
  • Periodically wipe the hub seals to remove excess grit.
  • Check for rim damage after significant impacts.
  • Use a standard freehub grease recommended for Pro 5 hubs to maintain the engagement mechanism's longevity.
