  • Spank 350 Vibrocore XD MTB WheelsetPrepare for an explosive descent down the trails with the Spank SPIKE 350 Vibrocore XD MTB Wheelset which is wide, strong and light. For unbeatable performance and control at any speed, you will be shredding with confidence with this smooth-riding, built for thrills wheelset that is guaranteed to rip up your next rideStrong and Light Downhill WheelsetWith a unique low-profile height and width, this is a rim that you can trust for maximum performance as you dominate your ride across tough terrains and conditions. Thanks to the addition of the XD Hub this wheelset is compatible with 11-speed drivetrains for an outstanding gearing experience as you climb and race away. With the advantage of being tubeless, you can fit tyres inflated to lower pressures for optimized traction when cornering and braking, while the enhanced Vibrocore injected foam in the inner well keeps your balance stable by reducing harmful vibration frequencies from the roughest of terrains. Supporting the wheels is the J-Hook triple butted spoke system which provides excellent strength and durability to keep their shape run after run. These wider designed rims will fit 2.0″ to 2.6″ and plus size tyres perfectly, making them the ultimate choice for downhill and free-riding.Features: Material:¬†High Performance Aluminium Inner Width: 30.5mm Outer Width:35mm Hole Count:¬†32 Valve:¬†F/V Presta Rear Hub: 12×142 or 12×148 or 12×150 Front Hub: 20×110 or Boost 15×110 Free Hub: SRAM XD, 1×11-Speed Rear Adapter: 12×135 or 12×137 Front Adapter: 15×100 or Boost 20×110 Spokes and Lacing:¬†J-Hook, triple butted 2.2/1.8/2.0, Brass External Nipples; 32H – 3cross lacing Tubeless:¬†Tubeless equipped (tape and valves included) Technologies:¬†Vibrocore, Radial Compliance, Torsional Strength, Lateral Stiffness, BeadBite Anti-burp, OohBah Inverted Inner WallTechnologies: Vibrocore:¬†Vibrocore technology is injected into Spank Vibrocore products and dramatically reduces vibrations that can lead to hand and arm numbness, fatigue and arm-pump. This additional technology also increases overall stiffness and fatigue life of the product. Vibrocore is one of the biggest innovations in Rim technology as it increases the radial compliancy, lateral stiffness and torsional strength while also damping vibrations from the trail. BeadBite:¬†At an incredible range of pressures, Bead Bite is the solution to keeping your tires burp free and fixed in place. Bead Bite rim technology enhances tubeless use with tires of all types and with a greater range of air pressures. Bead Bite rims have 6 rows of tiny ridges that run along the vertical and horizontal faces of the bead seats. These tiny teeth create air seals between the rim and tire as the bead conforms into them under air pressure. They dramatically increase frictional forces on the tire bead, reducing the beads’ ability to move vertically or horizontally (thus improving tire stability and reducing burps). The bead literally becomes trapped between the vertical and horizontal ridges, even at very low air pressures. Even in tubed applications, Bead Bite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with reduced risk of pinch flats. OohBah:¬†The unique OohBah profile allows Spank to manufacture thinner walled, wider profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tire spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tire performance. The “wave” shape of the OohBah inner tube adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevent buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support.Buy¬†Spank Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.

As with many cyclists, be it mountain bikers, BMX riders or road cyclists we want to take the time to make sure we get the best products. Where cycling is a passion for many we often invest a lot of our time and money into the hobby. And as we know, getting the right products can give us that small competitive advantage either over our actual competitors, our mates or even just beating our own goals. But because we do invest so much in our bikes and our equipment it’s really important to buy from recognised retailers, in our most recent search, we found many products available online for ridiculously (almost laughable) prices. They were just so low that alarm bells should instantly be ringing. That’s why we only recommend buying from the retailers that you really know and trust, names like Wiggle, Chain Reaction and Evans Cycles are just some of those that we use regularly. With these retailers you know you’re in safe hands and can expect great service, great returns policies and if anything was to go wrong great customer service under a warranty claim.

But onto the reason you’re here today, let’s delve into some of the details of Spank 350 Vibrocore XD MTB Wheelset to help you understand a bit more about where it sits in the market against some of the many alternatives that are available out there. We’re very aware that by buying our cycling stuff online that we’ve missed out on the opportunity to actually see and test the product first. This is where reviews come in to their own, as it gives us that chance to hear from other like-minded cyclists about how good or bad a product is.

As you would expect, our first and top piece of advice before buying, is to read lots and lots of Spank 350 Vibrocore XD MTB Wheelset reviews. With a review score of 8.5 out of 10 it’s likely that there will be lots of great detailed reviews to help you.

Something that makes it particularly challenging is the vast range of choice, as mentioned above there are 941 products in the Wheels category. There are also 127 products from the brand Spank. And then getting into the specifics even more there are 29 products from Spank in the category “Wheels”.

So let’s take a look at the second most important decision making tool we can use when shopping online, price. Whether your goal is to just get the cheapest Wheels available, or to get the best quality at a reasonable price, there’s always going to be a need to do your research on price.
