Ibis D30 700c Carbon Logo Wheelset

When we set out to improve our pre­vi­ous wheels, one of our goals was to make them even lighter and stronger. That wasn’t easy. To do it, we need­ed to reduce the height of our bead­walls. The short­er the bead­walls are, the less like­ly they are to bend and break.

Stan’s already uses this tech­nol­o­gy in their exist­ing prod­uct line, so we reached out and asked if we could col­lab­o­rate. Our S-wheels use their patent­ed BST tech­nol­o­gy, which helps us reduce our bead­wall heights while opti­miz­ing tire fit and mounting.

ASYMMETRIC RIM
An asym­met­ric rim means that instead of the spoke holes being drilled through the cen­ter of the rim, they’re slight­ly off­set. Doing this allows us to improve the brac­ing angle of the spokes. Because our rims are so wide we get to make them even more off­set than nor­mal. Our larg­er off­set allows us to ten­sion both sides of the wheels near­ly equal­ly, which results in a stronger and more durable wheelset.

TOUGHENED HYBRID CARBON
We don’t call the mate­r­i­al in our car­bon wheels ?“tough­ened” because they went to boot camp. The name comes from the com­bi­na­tion of resin mate­ri­als we use in our car­bon layup to get the right feel and strength. Part of that for­mu­la is the tough­ened resin we use in the bead­wall, which allows them to flex and shrug off impacts. Sup­port­ing those bead­walls is car­bon with a stiffer resin to make sure they hold their shape.

LOGO VS. I9
Our I9 wheels are built with Indus­try Nine’s Hydra Hubs. These Amer­i­can made hubs are a rid­er favorite due to their light weight, dura­bil­i­ty, and instant response. We lace these hubs with blad­ed Sapim CX-Ray spokes, which are among the light­est and tough­est on the market.

Our I9 Wheels are built with the best com­po­nents you can buy, but if you’re on a bud­get, our Logo wheels deliv­er an almost iden­ti­cal ride feel at a sim­i­lar weight, for hun­dreds less. We designed our hubs to be tough as hell and spec them with high qual­i­ty Enduro bear­ings. They’re laced to our rims with Sapim’s strongest and light­est dou­ble-butted moun­tain bike spoke.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

WE HAVE YOUR BACK
Our rims are backed by a sev­en-year war­ran­ty. If it’s our fault, we’ll fix them. We also offer a low cost ?“acci­dent replace­ment” pro­gram, just in case you dri­ve your bike into the garage…

NO PROPRIETARY PARTS
We build our wheels with read­i­ly avail­able parts, so you can source replace­ments wher­ev­er you go. By using stan­dard J-bend spokes and exter­nal square nip­ples, we’ve also made our wheels easy to service.
