How do I clean a carbon rim?

Gentle soap-based and bicycle-specific cleaning products usually work well. Do not use harsh chemicals and caustic truck-wash products. Always rinse well with water and dry the wheel/bike after washing.
Even some bicycle-specific cleaners can cause damage to clear coats and paint if not rinsed off properly (we're looking at you, Muc-Off), so use these products with the appropriate care and caution.

I use a rear-mounted bike carrier - what do I have to think about?

Rear-mounted carriers are common and a very handy way to carry a bike on a car. However, care must be taken to ensure no parts of the bike, especially carbon fibre parts, are near the exhaust. 
Exhaust fumes are hot enough to melt the resin in a carbon fibre product, even when the product is not directly in front of the exhaust. We do not warranty carbon fibre products that have been damaged by exposure to excessive heat.

My tubeless setup is losing pressure. What's up with that? 

Tubeless setups are great and will save you from many flats thanks to the sealing properties of the latex-based sealant we use (Joe's Super Sealant). But they're not faultless. A new tubeless setup needs a bit of time so the sealant can do its thing - for best results, we recommend going out for a ride to let the sealant splash around inside the tyre. 
If you don't ride the bike for a while, it's normal for the tyre to lose some pressure.
Check your tyre pressure before every ride!

FAQs

What Tyres Can I Run?

So many choices! A 25 mm internal rim typically works well within a range of tyre sizes from 28 mm - 50 mm. A 30mm internal rim typically works well within a range of tyre sizes from 50 mm and beyond. Some narrower tyres on wider rims will square off too much, and some wider tyres on narrower rims will fold and squirm due to lack of sidewall support.

Which Rim Width Should I Pick?

If you're after a Gravel wheel and don't see yourself running a tyre larger than 45 mm, go for the "Wide 35" version (25mm internal). 

If your riding is a bit more chunky gravel or XC and you're looking to run tyres 45 mm and beyond, we recommend to go for the "Wider 40" (30mm internal) version.

What Tyre Pressure Should I Use?

We get this question a lot!
Follow the guide on your tyre and have fun experimenting +/- a few PSIs for feel. The tyre should feel responsive, provide ample grip and be hard enough to not bottom out the tyre on the rim on rocky terrain. Lighter riders can afford to run slightly lower pressures, whereas heavier riders should err towards recommended pressures. Narrower (low volume) tyres will need to be run at higher pressures than higher volume tyres. 

That said, we do not recommend exceeding 35psi for any tyre that would be suitable for this rim.
Why only 28h? We believe 28h is ideal for most off-road applications. Through a custom build, you can obtain competitive lightweight configurations up to super robust expedition strength wheels.
