Elitewheels 27.5ER PRO36

RIM

The rims are built to handle rugged terrain. The PRO36 wheels have a 30mm internal width and an overall height of 24mm which brings the rims more compliance. 28 spoke holes are molded into the rim, with a 2.8mm of offset to help balance spoke tension between the drive- and non-drive side. The rims uses a wide, hookless bead that’s meant to help prevent pinch flats – the larger surface spreads out the force of an impact.

RIM TYPE

Asymmetry begets symmetry. Asymmetrical rims allow for even spoke tension, resulting in a stronger wheel and staying true to it. The T800 is used in the spoke hole location to increase the stretch resistance, while the T700 is used in the rim side to increase the resistance. Small ridges on either side of the drop channel help hold the tubeless tire in place. Beadlocks make it easier to seal tubeless tires.

HUB

At the center of the PRO36 wheelset is the PRO hub system which is made of 7075 aluminum alloy material. These hubs use stiffness-boosting straight-pull spokes that are hand-laced to the rim by our expert wheels builders. The freehub is designed with a ratchet mechanism and comes as standard with 36 teeth. The bearings in this hub are from Taiwan TPI.

SPOKE

2.8mm offset spoke holes balance spoke tensions to help preserve the quickness of the wheels and rigidity of the spokes.Standard use of SAPIM CX RAY spokes. Each spoke has 16 times the tension release. The deflection of the wheel is guaranteed to be within 0.2mm.
