29er Gnar Trail Emtb Carbon Wheelset
29er Gnar Trail Emtb Carbon Wheelset Rims
RIM
Elitewheels has left no stone unturned when designing the 29er Gnar Trail’s rim. The asymmetric rim profile of the 29er Gnar Trail leads to better stress balance, greater lateral stiffness, and strength at the spoke holes.
38 layers of carbon fiber are placed at each spoke hole to offer reinforcement. This further improves the strength and stiffness of the rim. The rim bead has been made 17% thicker to improve impact resistance.
In addition, during the rim production process, internal inflatable bladders from a special material are used to produce smoother walls, eliminating wrinkles and voids, allowing for an even stronger and more reliable rim that can be made lighter, as over-engineering is not necessary. We use genuine Toray T700 and T800 carbon fiber, which is superior to generic varieties in terms of weight and impact resistance.
The rims are designed to make fitting tubeless hookless wheels simple, requiring just a floor pump.
29er Gnar Trail Emtb Carbon Wheelset Hub
HUB
The Elitewheels Pro hubs are made of 7075 aluminum alloy and feature TPI bearings.
Both the front and rear hubs are forged and then machined using our own Fanuc CNC equipment. The rear hub features a star ratchet with 36 teeth simultaneously engaging, allowing for a high surface area to distribute power, extending the life of the freehub.
Hub servicing has been made easy due to the Pro hub’s minimalistic design and no need for special tools.
29er Gnar Trail Emtb Carbon Wheelset Spokes
SPOKES
Sapim CX-Ray spokes come standard. We take precautions to ensure that spoke windup is minimized, so wheels don’t go out of true. After the initial truing, the wheel is stress relieved. This process is repeated again. The wheels are stress relieved a total of 16 times. We see this as an essential quality control standard. As a result, our wheels are guaranteed to stay within 0.2mm of true.
The 3.5mm spoke offset minimizes the right and left spoke tension difference. This makes for a stronger and more laterally stiff wheel, giving you more control.
Dan (verified owner) –
I received new set of Gnar Trail SR wheels.
Beautiful wheels, but I have not ridden on them yet.
VERY prompt shipping.
Excellent communication.
Mounted a Vittoria Mezcal tire on the rear rim, without the need for tire levers.
EXCELLENT rim tape job.
Made sure the valve was snug, inflated the tire.
At 30-40 psi, the bead seated WITH A HAND PUMP! No compressor needed!
I almost forgot to mention…..I have NOT added any tire sealant yet, and it appears to have been holding air since yesterday!
I think I’ll add sealant before I ride, but it makes me smile to see it holds air before I added sealant 🙂
