Excess XLS Alloy Rim 507x28mm 36h With Brake Surface

Excess XLS Alloy Rim 507x28mm 36H – With Brake Surface

Product Overview

The Excess XLS is a double-walled 6061-T6 alloy rim designed for 24" BMX wheels with machined brake track for rim braking systems. At 388g with optimized internal geometry, it features angled nipple holes for rigid wheel builds and is tubeless-compatible.

Key Features

• Double-Walled 6061-T6 Aluminum – Optimized internal geometry reduces weight while maintaining strength for all BMX applications
• Machined Brake Track – Precision-cut braking surface provides consistent stopping power and extended pad life
• Low-Profile Aero Design – Aerodynamic rim profile reduces wind resistance during racing
• Angled Nipple Holes – Slightly angled spoke hole openings create more direct spoke-to-nipple angle for stronger, more rigid wheel builds
• Hi-Polished Black Anodized Finish – Single-process anodizing creates durable protective coating with polished aesthetic
• 28mm Width – Modern rim width compatible with contemporary 24" BMX tire profiles
• Presta Valve Compatible – Drilled for Presta valve stems; standard for modern BMX wheels
• Tubeless Ready – Bead lock system supports tubeless setup with additional tape, valve, sealant, and sealer (sold separately)
• V-Brake Compatible – Designed for use as rear rim with V-brake systems
• 36-Spoke Drilling – Standard BMX spoke count for balanced strength and weight

Build Requirements & Compatibility

• Spoke Compatibility – Use with butted or bladed steel spokes; verify spoke length based on hub flange geometry (approximately 280–310mm range depending on hub)
• Spoke Tensioning – Use calibrated spoke tension meter; maximum 115 kgf spoke tension
• Lacing Patterns – Angled nipple holes support standard cross lacing; radial lacing not recommended
• Tire Compatibility – Designed for 24" BMX tires; verify tire bead diameter matches 507 ETRTO standard
• Valve Type – Presta valve compatible; verify tire valve type before assembly
• Tubeless Setup – Requires tubeless-specific tire, rim tape, valve, sealant, and liquid sealer for conversion
• Hub Compatibility – Works with any 36-hole hub (rear position); verify ERD and spoke hole count
• Brake Compatibility – Machined brake track designed for rim brakes; also compatible with V-brake systems as rear rim

Compatibility & Ideal Use Cases

• BMX racing and freestyle – Optimized for all 24" BMX riding disciplines
• Rim brake systems – Machined brake track provides reliable braking performance
• V-brake rear wheel – Designed specifically for V-brake applications as rear rim
• Weight-optimized builds – 388g weight suitable for racing-focused setups
• Tubeless conversions – Bead lock system enables tubeless setup for reduced weight and puncture resistance
• Modern BMX geometry – 28mm width compatible with contemporary tire and frame standards
• All rider types – Suitable for racers and freestyle riders at any skill level

Important Notes

• Brake surface machined for rim brake compatibility; not designed for brakeless use
• V-brake compatible as rear rim only; verify brake system compatibility before ordering
• Maximum spoke tension 115 kgf; exceeding this may damage rim or spokes
• Angled nipple holes require proper spoke length calculation for correct build geometry
• Presta valve hole drilled; verify tire valve type before assembly
• Tubeless setup requires additional components (tape, valve, sealant, sealer) sold separately
• Hi-polished finish may require periodic cleaning to maintain shine
• ERD 491mm for accurate spoke length calculation during wheel building

Tubeless Ready System - Our rims feature a Bead Lock System, needed for the rim to be Tubeless Ready. With the installation of additional items needed you can get the rim ready for tubeless set up, along with the usage of a tubeless specific tire. With a tubeless set up, you can lighten up your wheels, saveing rotational weight, as well as have a sealant inside your tubeless ready tire to help automatically repair small punctures.
Additional items needed to convert to a Tubeless system include Special Valve, Sealant Rim Tape, and Liquid sealer.

V-Braking Compatible - Designed to be used as a rear rim when using a V-brake.
