FAQs
Does this wheel include a quick release skewer?
This model is designed for standard 100mm Quick Release axles, but verify your specific package contents as skewers are often sold separately or reused from existing setups.
Can I use this wheel with rim brakes?
No, the rim is designed specifically for disc brakes and does not feature the machined sidewalls required for rim brake pads.
What is the internal width of the rim?
The rim has an internal diameter of 21mm, which is suitable for standard mountain bike tire widths.
How much does the wheel weigh?
The wheel weighs approximately 1.124kg.
Is this wheel suitable for downhill mountain biking?
While durable, this wheel is intended for standard trail and cross-country use. It is recommended to use specialized downhill wheelsets for high-impact jumping and aggressive downhill courses.
What type of disc rotor do I need?
This wheel requires a standard 6-bolt disc brake rotor.
Troubleshooting
Wheel wobbles slightly while riding
Check for loose spokes. Use a spoke wrench to adjust tension or visit a local bike shop to have the wheel trued.
Brakes are rubbing against the rotor
Ensure the wheel is fully seated in the fork dropouts and the quick release is properly tightened. Re-align the brake caliper if necessary.
Clicking sound from the hub area
Verify that the quick release skewer is tightened correctly and check that no debris is caught in the disc rotor mount.
