Spank SPIKE Race 33 XD Boost Wheelset Review

• Spank SPIKE Race 33 XD Boost WheelsetThis wheelset offers a massive power boost for any rider looking to conquer the downhill. The alloy rims feature a corrugated rim centre, increasing each wheel’s strength and rigidity for reliable control even on the toughest descent. Each rim also features a 33mm outer width, allowing the rider to install wider tyres for increased traction.Boost-Enhanced Spike HubsetThis wheelset has been fitted with boost-sized hubs for increased stability. The 3-cross spoke configuration increases overall wheel durability, perfect for handling the impacts of downhill racing. Plus, anti-burp rim hooks have been installed to prevent pressure loss and hold each tyre firmly for a secure performance.Features: ¬†Rim:¬†Alloy Clincher (Tubeless Ready) ¬†Rim Width:¬†28mm (inner), 33mm (outer) ¬†Spokes:¬†J-Hook, triple-butted, 32H, 3-Cross Lacing ¬†Nipples:¬†Alloy DSN ¬†Hubset: Spike (with Boost Thru-Axle on rear) ¬†Weight:¬†2.0kg-2.08kg (27.5"), 2.04kg-2.15kg (29")Technology: ¬†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. ¬†BeadBite:¬†At an incredible range of pressures, BeadBite is the solution to keeping your tires burp free and fixed in place. BeadBite rim technology enhances tubeless use with tires of all types and with a greater range of air pressures. BeadBite 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, BeadBite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with reduced risk of pinch flats.Buy¬†Spank Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
