Elitewheels 29ER PRO33 Rims
RIM
During the rim production process, internal inflatable bladders from a special material are used to produce smoother walls, resulting in a lighter rim. These bladders are then completely removed without the use of harsh chemicals through the valve hole. Our unique manufacturing process makes is so that the rim does not have to be patched to extract the bladders like traditional manufacturers. This significantly improves the strength of the rims.
Elitewheels 29ER PRO33 Rim type
RIM TYPE
We use both genuine Toray T700 and T800 carbon fiber which is superior to generic carbon fiber used by many manufacturers. The two types of carbon fiber are used in different places to increase the wheel’s strength to weight ratio while reducing lateral and radial forces as well as increasing impact resistance.
The rims have also been specifically designed to make sealing tubeless tires using a floor pump easy.
Elitewheels 29ER PRO33 Hub
HUB
The Elitewheels Pro hub comes standard and features Taiwanese TPI bearings. Both the front and rear hubs are made of 7075 aluminum alloy. The lightweight freebody features a ratchet system with 36 teeth.
DT Swiss hubs are also available.
Elitewheels 29ER PRO33 Spokes
SPOKE
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 sideloaded. This process is repeated again. The wheels are sideloaded 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 3.2mm spoke offset minimizes the right and left spoke tension difference. This makes for a stonger and more laterally stiff wheel giving you more control.
I've had the Pro33 wheelset with the Pro hubs for over 8 months. The wheelset is astonishingly light weight without exhibiting noticable flex. The wheelset has been ridden in all kinds of terrain and has held up very well without any need for truing. The Pro hub uses the robust 36T ratchet system which is a proven simple design. The Sapim CX ray are the best out there in terms of low weight combined with strength. The wheelset comes ready with tubeless tape and valves which is a nice bonus. These wheels are by far my favorite carbon wheelset I have tried at an excellent price.
