Mountain Bike Wheels Note: If buying multiple items a shipping
discount will apply.
These are the ultimate in light and strong wheels for Cross
Country Racing. They are built to the highest of wheel building
standards to stay true and round. These are the Top of the line
components. If the Racer is heavier than 180 lbs it is recommended
to go to a little heavier and stronger rim such as the Velocity
AeroHeat. For Racer's over 200 lbs it is recommended to go a higher
spoke count.
Important Note:
Black Spokes or CX-Ray, or Laser 14/17 Spokes may be added to all Spin Lite
Built Wheels for an additional fee per wheel. Please make sure to
add either of these options to your shopping cart when selecting your wheels.
Add Black Spokes for an additional
$11.00 per wheel. Enter Quantity Below (Enter 2 in quantity for a wheelset)
CX-Ray Spoke Upgrade: The best aerodynamic spoke now available. As light as titanium spokes, CX-Ray still receive the best results in fatigue testing of any spoke. No doubt why CX-Ray are used by top bike racers and triathletes
around the world. Special alloy treatment and sophisticated production make this all possible.
This option will reduce the weight of your wheel set by approx 1.6 grams per spoke, i.e. 100 grams for 32/32 spoke wheel set.
Upgrade any
Spin Lite Built wheelset listed to CX-Ray spokes for $118.00

Laser 14/17g Spoke Upgrade: Sapim butted spokes have two major benefits: less weight and more strength! Technological advances using cold forging (SAPIM Forging Technology) 'stretch' the spoke, retaining the linear molecular structure of the material, thereby increasing the spoke strength at the middle by at least 48%. As an added bonus, the thin middle section of the light Laser also provides better shock absorption.
This option will reduce the weight of your wheel set by approx 1.6 grams per spoke, i.e. 100 grams for 32/32 spoke wheel set.

Veloplugs Option
Description:
They are
out of this world! You can search the entire universe
and you won't find anything quite like
the Veloplug. The Veloplug is an amazing new
invention, international patents
pending. Why wrap your complete rim
with a roll of heavy cloth tape when for
less than half the weight you can use
the Veloplug. Incredible blowout strength and takes
well over 400psi. Tires start to fail
long before the Veloplug.
Tire mounting is easier with the
Veloplug. Rim strips take up a lot of
space making tires more difficult to
mount. With the sleek and slippery
Veloplug, a difficult to mount tire
becomes easy. Spoke replacement is simplified as
there is no need to remove a sticky
strip. Just pop out the Veloplug over
the offending spoke and pop it back in
when repairs are complete. They can be
used over and over.
The Veloplug fits any rim with a
nominal 8mm web hole. This covers most
of the Velocity range as well as many
'Brand X' rims.
*note:
There
is no shipping charge for veloplugs when ordered
with a wheel set but if ordered separately a
charge of $6.00 will be added.

Ceramic Bearings Upgrade
Description:
Ceramic is the new Holy Grail! Its lighter, smoother, stiffer, harder, corrosion resistant, and electrically resistant. These fundamental characteristics allow for a wide range of performance enhancements in bearings. Ceramic bearings dissipate heat quickly, reducing friction and wear while maintaining a precision smooth surface. Today's leading edge ceramics are made with Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) and have characteristics similar to the heat absorbing, highly resilient tiles on the Space Shuttle.

Ceramic Bearings Today! *Rear
hubs that have more than 4 bearings will be an

Spin Lite Built ZTR 355 Wheelset
Description:
Every other rim in the world has a bead hook. This NoTubes ZTR 355 rim does not. This new rim design will eliminate the bead hook and move the sidewall of the rim down by 2-3mm. By eliminating the bead hook and lowering the sidewall by 2-3mm we reduce the weight of the rim. Some of this material can be used in the center part of the rim making it stronger and stiffer. The curve of the rim sidewall is the same shape as the bead of the tire so they fit together like a ball and socket joint. This design will help reduce the strain on the tire bead while creating a tighter seal. By lowering the sidewall of the rim we also reduce the mechanical leverage the tire has on the rim. This will make the rim stiffer and last longer by eliminating flexing that can cause cracking. With these short sidewalls the tire should not hit the rim and pinch flat as often as standard rims, either with or without tubes. This design will allow you to run lower pressures and use 4mm more of the tire than ever before. The tire will have larger air volume giving you better traction than any rim in the world. Can be used with or without tubes.
NOTE: The ZTR 355 rim is fully compatible with the 21mm yellow tape and valve method for tubeless use.
Most riders elect to use the thin 5g yellow spoke tape and no rim strip
