Product Information
Full details
The DMR Colt DJ Wheel is an ideal choice for dirt jump, pump track, and trail riders who prioritize a lightweight yet robust wheelset for high-speed maneuvers and airtime. Featuring a wider-profile, double-walled rim and 36-spoke construction, it offers exceptional durability for aggressive riding, though its specific single-speed configuration and 135mm axle spacing mean it is best suited for dedicated dirt jump frames rather than general mountain bikes.

FAQs
Can I convert this wheel to multi-speed?
No, this wheelset is specifically designed as a single-speed unit with a fixed 14t sprocket.
What size brake rotors are compatible?
The hub features a standard six-bolt mount, making it compatible with most standard mountain bike disc rotors.
Does the wheel come with rim tape?
Yes, all DMR Colt wheels include pre-installed rim tape.
Are the bearings replaceable?
Yes, the wheel utilizes standard cartridge bearings that can be serviced or replaced by a bike mechanic.
Is the axle spacing adjustable?
No, the rear wheel is fixed at 135mm spacing for use with bolt-on frames.
Troubleshooting
Wheel feels loose in the frame
Check the bolt-on axle tension. Ensure both sides are tightened evenly against the dropouts.
Freehub engagement feels delayed
Inspect the 5-pawl system for debris or dried grease. Clean and re-lubricate with appropriate freehub oil.
Spokes loosening over time
This is common for new wheels. Bring the wheel to a shop for a professional re-tension and true.

- Limited to single-speed setups

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Compatibility: The rear wheel is designed for 135mm frames with bolt-on dropouts. It features a six-bolt rotor mount if you choose to run a disc brake.
- Installation: Ensure your frame dropouts are clean before tightening the bolt-on axle. Always check that the chain tension is correct after installation to prevent derailment.
- Maintenance: While the bearings are sealed, they should be inspected after the wet season or heavy mud riding. The rim tape included should be checked annually to ensure it is not peeling or allowing spoke heads to touch the tube.
- Care: Keep the wheels clean using non-corrosive bike wash. Avoid high-pressure sprayers directed at the hub seals, as this can force water inside the bearing races.
