Key Features

• Double-wall 6061-T6 aluminum rims – Tubeless-ready construction with two specific rim profiles optimized for BMX racing geometry and aerodynamics
• 507x28mm rim dimensions – Sized specifically for 24" BMX race wheels with standard tire compatibility (1.50" to 1.75")
• 36-spoke construction – High spoke count provides strength, wheel trueness retention, and reliable performance under racing loads
• Sealed bearing hubs – Enclosed bearing cartridges protect internals from dirt and moisture while maintaining smooth, responsive rotation
• 3-pawl engagement system – Three-pawl ratchet with 24-tooth engagement provides immediate power transfer and reliable drive feel when accelerating or re-engaging from neutral
• Front hub CenterLock disc compatibility – Allows conversion to disc brake setup with separate CenterLock rotor bracket (sold separately)
• Rear hub CenterLock disc compatibility – Enables disc brake conversion on rear wheel using standard CenterLock disc rotor system (adapter sold separately)
• V-brake ready – Designed with rim braking surfaces compatible with standard linear pull V-brake systems
• Front axle conversion kit available – Optional 20mm axle conversion allows compatibility with different fork standards (sold separately)
• Chromoly axles with BTR clamping – Steel axles with precise clamping system ensure secure wheel retention and consistent alignment
• 14-gauge steel spokes with aluminum nipples – Durable spoke set with corrosion-resistant fasteners maintains spoke tension and wheel integrity
• Lightweight at 2061g per pair – Optimized construction minimizes rotating mass while maintaining structural strength for racing
• Rim tape included – Pre-installed tape protects tube from spoke ends and maintains air seal

Compatibility & Ideal Use Cases

This wheelset fits any 24" BMX race bike with 10mm rear axles and 1.50" to 1.75" tire compatibility. It's ideal for BMX racers prioritizing sealed bearing durability and responsive engagement on track. The V-brake compatibility works with standard linear pull brake systems on modern BMX frames. The disc-brake conversion capability allows future upgrades to disc systems without wheel replacement (requires separate CenterLock adapter). The optional front axle conversion enables compatibility with 20mm fork standards if needed. Compatible with standard BMX race bikes, sealed bearing frames, and both training and competitive racing applications.
