Description
Qvist hubs are a prime example of fine German-engineering. The ingenious double-ratchet systems offers a superbly fast engagement whilst being reliable, and holding its own even in demanding use.
Hub Specs
- Boost spacing: 110x15mm front / 148x12mm rear.
- 28H spoke hole count, 6-bolt disc rotor mounts.
- Patented double-ratchet mechanism which doubles (as the name implies) the POE number up to 120!
- Made in Germany!
Rims
Wheels are offered with a variety of rim options to suit the intended application, including differing internal widths, and rim materials. See the continually updated rim choice page by clicking the link below to find the right match for your needs.
Spokes & Nipples
Wheels are built with double-butted Sapim Race spokes that employ a 2.0/1.8/2.0mm profile. The Race spokes are the default spoke choice for multiple reasons.
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
- Better fatigue-resistance properties than straight gauge 2.0mm spokes.
- Excellent value, and availability.
Race spokes are mated with with black-coloured Sapim Polyax Double Square nipples. Brass nipples are used exclusively in builds because of their reliability, low to zero maintenance needs, corrosion resistance and strength. Reliability, and function are further enhanced by using the Secure-Lock version of the said nipples, or by adding a mild adhesive compound with traditional nipples.
Build
Unless otherwise specified by the component manufacturer, all wheels are built with the following properties:
- 3-cross lacing pattern.
- Thorough stress-relieving process.
- Highest tension approved by the component manufacturer – usually 1200N.
- With a high degree of trueness, and roundness.
The whole build process is made by hand.
Lead Time
All wheels are built to order. Shipping takes place usually within 3-6 working days after the order has been placed.
Once finished, and shipped, the relevant tracking code will be forwarded by email.
