Gravel, Cross, Race front wheel 28 inches, Schmidt’s SON 28 hub dynamo, laced with a Mavic CXP Pro 30 Disc rim and DT Competition spokes, built by TNC
The 28-inch front wheel with the Son 28 dynamo and the 580-gram extra-sturdy Mavic CXP Pro 30 Gravel, Cross and Race Semiaero rim with a 19.5 mm rim width.
We offer the Son 28 hub dynamo for this wheel as either a quick-release 9x100mm or through-axle 12x100mm, 15x100mm or Boost 12x110mm and 15x110mm versions, and with 6-bolt and Centerlock brake disc mounts
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, tested multiple times; 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.
The SON 28 hub dynamo from Schmidt offers excellent smooth running and very high efficiency. Manufactured and developed in Germany, Schmidt dynamos generally last longer than the bikes in which they are fitted. The ideal complement is Schmidt’s Edelux lamps, as the SonDelux lamps are particularly low-loss yet still provide plenty of light at low speeds. The weight has been kept pleasingly low at 440 g; the new SON 28 resembles the SONdelux in design and appearance. In the standard version, the flange spacing and bearing spacing have been increased by 12 mm and 10 mm respectively compared to the SONdelux. Compared to the SON 28 Classic model years 2000 to 2011, no-load losses have been reduced by approximately 15 per cent and the weight by 140 g. The secret lies in the gearless design using high-quality materials and the adherence to tight tolerances, which is likely only achievable through hand-crafting by a dedicated small team. The dynamo is simply switched off electrically. Thanks to these optimisations, the no-load losses when switched off amount to just 1 watt and are imperceptible even to the most sensitive cyclists whilst riding.
The new Race, Gravel and Cross semi-aero CXP Pro 30 Disc rims from Mavic, tubeless-ready and with a 19.5 mm internal rim width for tyres from 28 to 60 mm wide.
Lightweight and extra-sturdy, the Mavic CXP Pro 30 rim weighs a super-light 575 grams and is optimised to the absolute limit of what the material allows. With a 19.6 mm internal rim width, ideal for tyres from 28–60 mm wide. Double-eyelet, welded rim joint, precision-machined from high-quality, durable Maxtal aluminium. The CXP Pro 30 rim is tubeless-ready.
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, the DT Competition spokes enable wheel building of the highest standard. Thanks to the tapered section, the spokes absorb movements in the wheel exceptionally well, without compromising on lateral stiffness or durability. Weight with nipple approx. 7 grams
Designed for stable, laterally stiff yet aerodynamic wheelsets, the DT Swiss Aero Comp spoke is first cold-forged in the middle section to make 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 combination of stiffness, aerodynamics and durability.
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
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 with 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.
The Squorx Pro Head nipples are required for the new DT Swiss rims in the new tubeless-ready series. Want to increase the lifespan of a wheel several times over? That’s only possible with DT Pro Lock! This nipple features an integrated thread-locking system, developed and manufactured by DT Swiss. The two-component adhesive in the nipple thread prevents the spoke-nipple connection from loosening under the influence of operational loads and the cycling of the wheel during riding, thereby ensuring constant spoke tension.
