Wingman Origin Gravity Rims
Visit the manufacturer's website here
Introducing $99 rebuilds - if you smash it, we rebuild your whole wheel for $99, including a brand new, free Origin rim. No questions asked.
Wingman rims incorporate brand new, hollow-hook technology for a massive 4.2mm bead. Not only does this give it fantastic impact resistance, but you’re also far less likely to puncture your tyre. These are characteristics previously reserved for carbon - now they’re here, with an unbeatable price tag.
Made from the same factory in Taiwan that supplies DT with it’s gravity alloy. Inspired by the triangular shape that makes DT rims so reliable. We’ve learned from the best, and upped the game.
These rims were put through rigorous testing in multiple 2023/24 DH state series and blazed through with flying colours.
Wingman Origin rim: 635g for 29"
Internal Diameter: 30mm
Alpina Raggi Spokes and Nipples
The highest quality spoke and nipples, made in Italy since 1926.
Alpina is famous for its automation, which ensures consistency and quality whilst manufacturing wheel components. Alpina Nyloc nipples are particularly innovative, with a high 12Nm of locking force consistent throughout the lifetime of the nipple, no matter how many times they are adjusted. All Alpina spokes are guaranteed to be made from the highest quality European wire, unlike some of its closest competitors.
The Alpina Lite spoke is a double butted round spoke directly equivalent to the DT Swiss Competition.
The Alpina Ultralite Aero spoke is a bladed spoke directly equivalent to a DT Swiss AeroLite. Swapping to the Ultralite Aero spoke saves approximately 100g on your wheelset.
