DUKE ROAD RUNNER 30 disc ARTISANAL RIM
The DUKE Road runner 30 disc rim is designed, tested in France, DUKE is the exclusive owner of the manufacturing tools. The DUKE Road Rim Runner 30 disc Has a profile height of 30mm. Symmetrical front profile and ASYMMETRIC at the rear: As the number of gears increases, The cassette-side flange of the hub is increasingly "pushed" towards the inside of the wheel have an asymetrical profil (2mm offset) Which makes it possible to increase the lateral stiffness of the wheel without gaining weight. The holes in the rim are off-centered, this makes it possible to close more the umbrella formed by the Spokes. Thus the spokes ensure a better maintenance of the rim and the lateral stiffness of the wheel is increased. Inner width 19,5mm. This gives more volume to the tires and improves efficiency, comfort and cornering grip. A wide rim also means that you can use finer, lighter tires while maintaining the comfort, softness and grip provided by a larger volume of air.
Technology
Thanks to this antiburp, the tire bead is held in position at all low pressures and under all loads, so there's no risk of the bead sliding off the rim or losing pressure even when cornering hard. Two edges prevent the tire beads from sliding horizontally towards the inside of the rim. Even after a puncture, the tire stays in place on the rim
Our Tubeless compatible rims (UST, Tubeless Ready and Notubes), only require some Duke rim tape and a Tubeless-ready valve. They can also be used in a classic clincher set up (tyre & inner tube).
Dynamal is 50% stronger than 6061-T6. Unlike standard alloy blends, Dynamal is a pure alloy, enriched with magnesium-silicon and combined with a confidential metal to harden it. Compared with traditional alloys, Dynamal offers a significant increase in stress and impact resistance, without any reduction in fatigue strength.
The orientation of the holes of a rim allows a perfect alignment of the nipples and spokes, which brings a better lifetime of the spokes, the rim and the wheel.
We keep the hooks on all our gravel and road rims. As the pressures used are higher than in mountain bikes, the risk of the tire sliding off the rim is too high with hookless rims. What's more, for a given inside width, rims with hooks have a wider outer width than rims without hooks, which enhances the aerodynamics of the rim/tire assembly.
Rim offset increases lateral stiffness and wheel stability without adding weight. The rim holes are off-center, improving the spokes brace angles. By better balancing the tensions between the two spoke sides, the wheel's durability is enhanced.
