Black Series MTB wheels are laced 32-hole three-cross for maximum lateral stiffness & power transfer. The slightly higher spoke count verses many standard boxed wheels allow for a lighter weight rim to be used, resulting in a lower peripheral weight and lower un-sprung weight while maintaining durability. Black Series MAC-650b wheels are hand built in Germany using Sapim D-Light 2.0/1.65/2.0 triple butted spokes and alloy spoke nipples with locking treads offering high strength and serviceability. Last but not least, the most important component in Black Series wheels, the hubs. Hand built in Germany by Tune the Black Series hubs offer the ultimate combination of light-weight, durability and performance. Each CNC machined to the finest tolerances from the highest grade 7075 T7 Heat Treated Aluminium, featuring oversize 17 mm axles (which can be converted to any axle standard) and high-grade precision bearings for the lowest rolling resistance. All Black Series MTB hubs also feature the standard ISO 6 bolt disc rotor mount for maximum brake compatibility. Based on a race proven design created over a decade ago, Black Series hubs offer pure engineering and timeless style. Proven in World Championship competition. Hand made in Germany by Tune. Black Series Wheels One of the best ways to improve your bicycle's performance is to upgrade your wheels. No other single component can offer a greater competitive advantage! All Black Series wheel components are individually chosen to be the best in their field. For example: Black Series hubs manufactured by Tune in Germany withstand high spoke tensions (Less possibility of wind-up or buckling), they use extremely high-grade bearings (reducing friction & rolling resistance) and are among the lightest and highest precision hubs in production. We use lightweight yet durable Sapim spokes in standard off the shelf lengths with standard exposed alloy spoke nipples for ease of service or replacement, and all wheels are hand built in Germany using a selection of tried and tested super light rims. Black Series wheel designs have been proven in World Championship competition, many winning World Cup and Olympic events….
