26-inch DT Swiss 240 EXP wheel with Stans Notubes Crest MK4 rim

The rear wheel featuring DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs and the lightweight Crest MK4 Cross Country rim from Stans Notubes. Hand-built in our specialist workshop.

Wheel building at TNC-Hamburg:

We manufacture these wheels entirely by hand for you. Thanks to more than 30 years’ experience in wheel building, we get the very best in concentricity, durability and stiffness out of the materials. These wheels are, of course, trued multiple times, and we also pre-load the spokes in the longitudinal direction. This eliminates the need for re-truing over a long period of time.

These wheels are made especially for you, which is why we cannot offer a right of return for them.

The DT Swiss 240 EXP straight-pull hubs offer minimal weight combined with exceptional durability – a rarity, particularly in hub construction. The new axle system, with 15 per cent greater support width, increases hub stiffness. The ‘EXP’ in the DT Swiss 240 hubs stands for the integration of the gear ring and threaded ring, which reduces the number of components and thus lowers the weight. A single coil spring ensures faster, complete engagement and thus greater reliability. The complete interlocking of the ring gears creates a large contact surface and thus low point loads, resulting in superior reliability. The stainless steel ball bearings have proven to be extremely reliable and durable since the introduction of the 240 hubs. The patented freehub body features interlocking ratchet discs. This guarantees 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.

DT Swiss Star Ratchet EXP System:

The tried-and-tested DT Swiss Star Ratchet System, in its new EXP version with the toothed disc freehub body, allows for easy conversion to various rotor standards.

Stans NoTubes ZTR Crest MK4

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 Stans 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 risk of snake bites.
