28-inch DT Swiss 240 EXP Straightpull wheelset with Stans NoTubes Crest MK4 rims

These lightweight and sturdy high-end endurance and gravel wheels feature the 399-gram Stans NoTubes Crest MK4 rims with a 25 mm rim width and DT Swiss 240 EXP spline hubs.

We offer this wheelset with Centerlock or Disc 6-hole brake disc mounts. The 240 EXP hubs are available in quick-release, thru-axle or Boost thru-axle versions.

Front wheel weight from 650 grams, depending on the spokes and nipples selected.

Wheel building at TNC-Hamburg:

Hand-built in our specialist workshop. We manufacture these wheels entirely by hand for you, which is why we cannot offer a right of return for them. Thanks to more than 30 years’ experience in wheel building, we extract the optimum in concentricity, durability and stiffness from the material. These wheels are, of course, trued multiple times, and we also pre-load the spokes in both the transverse and longitudinal directions. This eliminates the need for re-truing over a long period of time. We use DT Swiss spokes exclusively. These ensure outstanding durability of the wheelsets. For DH and Enduro use, we recommend brass nipples.

Included in delivery:

• Front wheel fully laced in our workshop and hand-trued with a DT 240 EXP straight-pull hub, DT spokes, DT nipples as selected, and a Stans Notubes Crest MK4 aluminium rim.
• Excludes rim tape and valve

Please feel free to enquire about other wheel configurations. We will then send you a quote.

DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs:

The DT Swiss 240 EXP straight-pull hubs offer minimal weight combined with exceptional durability – a rarity in hub construction. The DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs feature low-maintenance stainless steel ball bearings. The patented freehub body utilises interlocking toothed discs, ensuring loss-free power transmission. Straightpull refers to straight, non-offset spokes. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to achieve an ideal balance between weight and stability. The straightpull spokes allow for very precise alignment and optimised positioning within the wheel, resulting in a stiffer and more responsive wheel.

Stan's NoTubes Crest MK4 rim:

The Cross Country, Marathon and Gravel rims from Stan’s NoTubes are extremely lightweight at 399 grams, stable and, with a 25 mm rim width, suitable for modern drivetrains with tyres up to 2.4.

The legendary Crest is now even better. With a wider rim width and the tried-and-tested low BST rim bed, the new Crest MK4 rim features a 25 mm rim width. Thanks to the WideRight System introduced by Stan’s NoTubes, the rim width increases to 25 millimetres, providing even better tyre support and full volume development. Inspired by Stans carbon rims, the new rim profile, combined with the new 6069 aluminium alloy, increases lateral stiffness and impact resistance whilst reducing the likelihood of snake bites.

Notubes BST

Notubes’ Bead Socket Technology. This special rim design features a wide rim bed with a low flange for high tyre stability and full tyre volume development. The BST technology helps retain air better in tubeless systems, resulting in less rotating mass and a virtually increased effective rim width compared to competitors. A wide rim also reduces tyre flex in corners and allows the tyre to be ridden at lower pressures. The ZTR rims are fully tubeless-compatible when used with rim tape and a valve.

DT Competition spokes:

The double cold-forged spoke made from rust-resistant 18/10 chrome-nickel steel with a tapered middle section for robust, lightweight wheelsets. We recommend these spokes for virtually all wheelsets. Extremely durable and sufficiently lightweight, DT Competition spokes enable wheel building of the highest standard. Thanks to the tapered middle section, the spokes absorb movements in the wheel exceptionally well, without compromising on lateral stiffness and durability. Weight with nipple approx. 7 grams.

DT Competition Race spokes:

Just as versatile as the bent version of the DT Competition spoke, but as a straight spoke. They are optimally matched to the new straight-pull hubs and offer even greater durability compared to the conventional DT Competition spoke. Thanks to the extra-thin middle section, they save a further 35 g per wheel compared to the already lightweight DT Competition, whilst offering almost the same stiffness and durability.

DT Swiss Aero Comp spokes:

Designed for stable, laterally stiff yet aerodynamic wheelsets, the DT Swiss Aero Comp spoke is cold-forged in the middle section, making it lighter and stronger. In a further complex process, it is flat-forged to optimise aerodynamic properties whilst simultaneously increasing material strength. The DT Aero Comp guarantees a balanced ratio of stiffness, aerodynamics and durability.

DT Swiss Aero Lite spokes:

The DT Swiss Aerolite spoke is flatter and lighter than any other; the DT Swiss Aerolite spoke features an aerodynamic flat profile and is extremely lightweight. Thanks to the 0.9 x 2.3 mm aerodynamic mid-section, this spoke can be fitted to all standard hubs. The Cold Forging Technology (CFT) developed by DT Swiss makes the reduced and forged DT Aerolite the lightest stainless steel spoke and gives it excellent mechanical properties. Particularly suitable for super-light and fast road or cross-country wheelsets. 64 DT Aerolite spokes weigh an incredible 278 g at a length of 264 mm. Weight per spoke at 264 mm length: 4.31 grams

DT Swiss Revolite spokes:

Completely redesigned with a 2 mm spoke head and 2 mm spoke thread, and aerodynamically tapered to 1.3 mm at the centre, the Revolite is the stable all-round spoke. The DT Revolite is the ideal choice for riders looking for a spoke that combines durability and low weight. Double cold-forged spoke made from rust-proof 18/10 chrome-nickel steel with a 1.3 mm thick and 1.58 mm wide semi-aero centre section.

DT Squorx spoke nipples:

The DT Swiss Squorx Pro Head nipple combines ease of installation with light weight thanks to the DT Pro Head design, combined with an additional Torx and square tool socket. The Torx socket provides a larger contact area during wheel building, ensuring that the force from the tool is better distributed across the nipple. The spherical contact area within the rim guarantees perfect alignment with the spoke.
