MTB Rims Down Hill | 29" 27.5"
In 2016, for the first time we designed the Downhill special carbon fiber bicycle series rims. There are three sizes, 29-inch NXT29DH40, 27.5-inch NXT27DH40, and 26-inch NXT26DH40. This series (DH40) uses full T700 carbon fiber materials, the depth of the rim is 32mm, and the thickness of the rim lip is 4.5mm. This overbearing design makes the strength of the rim extremely high, and the tested positive stiffness reaches an astonishing 150J. Over the years, it has won the unanimous favor of DH riders, which leads to the result that this series has become a DH classic product.
With the continuous innovation and changes in the carbon fiber DH wheel market, DH riders have higher requirements for the weight and the riding comfort of Downhill rims. Therefore, in 2020 we designed an asymmetric DH rim series (XD39), the NXT29XD39 and NXT27XD39 models. The asymmetric design is conducive to balancing the spoke tension on the driving side and non-driving side of the wheelset, making the ride more stable. A mixture of T700+T800 carbon fiber materials is used to increase strength and reduce weight At the same time, the layer-up technology process has been
Nextie Wheels & Hubs
@MikeMckinney that has to be one of the funniest things i’ve seen on the forum for me in a while! Well played!
@rkoswald the Nextie hubs are built very similar to DT swiss hubs. China is starting to really get ahold of its hub game, despite how some people view him, Hambini reviews Ryet hubs which is (see my air quotes) very “similar” to the Nextie off the shelf hub…
I am sure you saw it but you can see the Nextie hub exploded view on the website - Bicycle Hubs: Rollingstar II
Nextie is also working on the next generation hub for some new carbon spoke release and also a standard 20-spoke drilling. As of right now, I know quite a few people on their hubs but I don’t consider 1-2 seasons long term to tell you if any issues have come up (it hasn’t).
See my thread where I am talking about a set of wheels I have coming
TL/DR - We built a set of 60mm depth wheels that are estimated to be 1290g (+/- 20g) I wanted to resurrect this thread as oldandfast inspired me with this thread for my new bike build I am doing. I set out to build what I found to be a modern and wise wheel choice for road bikes. In doing this I have been working with Nextie over t
