Spoke tension deviation fron. left: 24 %, fron. right: 20 %, hi. left: 13 %, hi. right: 5%


Concentricity/centredness new condition (points/max. points) 7/10


Resistance to overload (points/max. points) 9/10


Conclusion A high number of spokes with thick spokes and toothed disc freewheel ensure stability. Quite light despite the 24.5 mm rim. Other inner rim widths up to 33.5 millimetres available. Just short of super.


BIKE judgement³ VERY GOOD (379)


¹QR stands for Quickrelease = normal quick release.
²Weight without quick release and including rim tape.
The BIKE judgement is independent of price. BIKE judgements: super (510-380 pts.), very good (379-330 pts.), good (329-280 pts.), satisfactory (279-230 pts.), with weaknesses (229-180 pts.), unsatisfactory.
