PI ROPE wheelset 29″ FADE 6-hole Crazy Jack 6TERS SLS3 30/27 mm | Golden Shine

A light and stable all-mountain wheelset with textile spokes, can that work? So far, there have been many approaches from well-known manufacturers, but all of them have produced unsatisfactory results. The young and extremely innovative think tank PI ROPE from Chemnitz, Saxony, has made the impossible possible in cooperation with the Technical University of Chemnitz. The result is a textile spoke made of braided Vectran synthetic fibers.
The material is extremely robust, resistant to aging and weathering, and has better mechanical properties than its steel counterpart. The tensile strength and damping is many times higher, but the weight of the fibers is five times lower. This offers optimal conditions for a very light but nevertheless hard-wearing wheel, as the rotating masses are minimized in the important outer areas and the flexibility of the Vectran textile spokes prevents permanent, plastic deformation at high peak loads.

In cooperation with the well-known component manufacturer NEWMEN, the hubs were specially developed, which can accommodate the special ends of the PI ROPE spokes. The long-lasting bearings are pressed in precisely and stress-free at the factory, so that the often tedious adjustment of the axial bearing clearance is no longer necessary. This has increased the level of user-friendliness. The design of the freewheel is completely different from the previous model. The goal was low noise. The result was the FADE ratchet system. 3 pawls engage in a new type of tooth profile. To increase durability, the diameter was enlarged and the individual pawls were short and wide. Thus, the resulting forces are distributed over a larger area and the hub is even released for e-bikes and tough enduro use.

The installed DUKE Crazy Jack SLS3 6TERS rims are the flagships of the French manufacturer’s all-mountain rims. Different profiles were designed for the front and rear wheel in order to be able to offer the perfect rim for the respective installation location. A light, stiff rim is used on the front wheel, which offers optimum steering precision and perfectly supports the tire. The rear wheel, on the other hand, is fitted with a slightly narrower, robust rim in order to be comfortable and accelerate efficiently. Both are designed with an asymmetrical profile, which allows a more even angle of attack of the spokes. Optimizing this angle brings with it a multitude of advantages. The spoke tension can be adjusted on both sides, which is beneficial to the durability of the entire wheel. In addition, the lateral rigidity increases significantly. Technical specifications:
