Stans Notubes M-Pulse Hubs + Crest MK4 Rims
The lightweight gravel and cross-country wheels from NoTubes featuring the new 12x100mm and 12x142mm M-Pulse hubs and the sturdy and very lightweight Crest MK4 rims with a 25 mm rim width.
The 25 mm wide Crest MK4 rim, made from a 6069 alloy with a reinforced spoke bed and welded seams, is suitable for both the higher pressure of 40 mm gravel tyres and the lower pressure of 2.3" mountain bike tyres. The asymmetrical design of the Crest MK4 rim improves the spoke angle to create a more stable wheel, whilst offering the easiest inflation and the most reliable airtight tubeless seal, available exclusively on Stans’ patented Bead Socket Technology rim. The Crest MK4 wheelset was built by riders for riders and relies on the proven strength of traditional J-bend spokes. As part of Stan’s commitment to producing easy-to-maintain wheelsets that riders can own for many years, all MK4 wheelsets of the same diameter feature a single, very common spoke length. A single length is used at the front and rear and on both sides, making it easy to replace damaged spokes

Stan Notubes M-Pulse hubs
The high-end hubs from Stans NoTubes. The freehub body system of the new M-Pulse hub is based on the magnetic pawl design from Project321, manufactured in Oregon, USA. The M-Pulse hubs are equipped with six pawls featuring neodymium magnets and a bearing ring with 216 engagement points made from hardened stainless steel. The freehub body requires just a 1.66-degree turn to engage. The 17mm axles are made from 7075 aluminium and are fitted with high-quality Endurro Bearings. High-quality seals offer excellent protection and ensure a long hub life. The bearing play is adjustable.
Stans NoTubes Crest MK4 rim:
The legendary Crest rim is now even better. With a wider rim width and the proven low BST rim bed, the new Crest MK4 rim features a 25 mm rim width. With the WideRight System introduced by Stans NoTubes, the rim width increases to 25 millimetres, for 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 risk of snake bites.
The Stans NoTubes rims are perfectly designed, thanks to special rim flanges for fitting tubeless tyres. Thanks to the wide rim bed, the tyre is guided superbly and offers the best rolling resistance.
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 improves air retention in tubeless systems, resulting in lower 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.
Stan Notubes spokes:
The black stainless steel spokes used by Stan’s are highly durable and offer the possibility of easy repair or replacement should the need arise.
