Components
Under the project name Storchenschnabel, we developed our Z50-36. For the Storchenschnabel we deviate from our usual nomenclature and do not use the inner width as the second digit (here 29mm), but instead the outer width – the width of the rim. With 35.5mm at the bead and 37mm at the centre, the Z50-36 offers perfect performance for all gravel racers who can manage with a 35mm wide tyre at the front. Our calculations show an aerodynamic advantage of 5–9 watts compared to 30mm wide gravel rims of the same height. A 36mm width and an inner width of 29mm results in a bead wall thickness of 5.5mm – making this rim significantly more resistant than conventional gravel rims.
DT Swiss 240
The DT Swiss 240 combines low weight with high reliability. The Ratchet EXP® freehub system with 36 teeth ensures direct power transfer, while the increased bearing distance reduces bearing load. The tool-free removable end caps make maintenance and service straightforward.
DT Aerolite
The DT Aerolite is a particularly lightweight aero spoke with a flat profile for improved aerodynamics. The combination of a butted mid-section and additional flat forging offers an excellent balance of weight, stability and air resistance. Compatible with hubs with standard spoke holes. Weight: 278g (64 spokes, 264mm).
DT Aero Comp
The DT Aero Comp combines high stability with aerodynamic efficiency. Its butted and flat-forged spoke body provides a balanced combination of stiffness, durability and low air resistance. Compatible with hubs with standard spoke holes. Weight: 380g (64 spokes, 264mm).
Safety through Hooked Rim Design
The hooked rim construction mechanically secures the tyre bead in the rim bed and allows the use of a wide range of modern tubeless and clincher tyres. No restrictions due to hookless approvals. Maximum tyre compatibility with high operational safety.
