Excess XLS Carbon Rim 507x30mm 36h With Brake Surface

Excess XLS Carbon Rim 507x30mm 36H – With Brake Surface

Product Overview

The Excess XLS Carbon is a professional-grade 3K weave carbon rim designed for 24" BMX wheels with machined brake track. At 399g with low-profile aero design, it combines strength and rigidity with lightweight construction, featuring angled nipple holes for rigid wheel builds.

Key Features

• 3K Carbon Weave – High-quality carbon fiber construction with consistent weave pattern for strength and durability
• 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 and sustained speed
• High-Gloss Finish – Water-applied stickers with shiny clear coating provide durable, professional appearance
• Angled Nipple Holes – Slightly angled spoke hole openings create more direct spoke-to-nipple angle for stronger, more rigid wheel builds
• 30mm Width – Wide rim profile provides excellent tire support and modern BMX geometry compatibility
• Presta Valve Compatible – Drilled for Presta valve stems; standard for modern BMX wheels
• V-Brake Compatible – Designed for use as rear rim with V-brake systems
• Lightweight Carbon Construction – 399g weight provides significant rotational weight savings versus alloy alternatives
• 36-Spoke Drilling – Standard BMX spoke count for balanced strength and weight
• Professional Performance – Engineering optimized for racing and high-performance applications

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
• 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; compatible with V-brake systems as rear rim
• Carbon Fiber Care – Handle carefully to avoid impact damage; carbon fiber can crack if struck hard

Compatibility & Ideal Use Cases

• Professional BMX racing – Optimized for competitive racing with machined brake track and aero profile
• Rim brake systems – Machined brake track provides reliable braking performance across various pad types
• V-brake rear wheel – Designed specifically for V-brake applications as rear rim
• Weight-optimized builds – 399g weight provides significant savings versus alloy alternatives
• High-performance racing – Professional-grade carbon construction for serious competitive riders
• Modern BMX geometry – 30mm width provides excellent tire support and contemporary frame compatibility
• Experienced riders – Carbon fiber construction requires careful handling and knowledge of material properties

Important Notes

• Carbon fiber construction; handle carefully to avoid impact damage or cracking
• Brake surface machined for rim brake compatibility; designed for rear wheel use only
• V-brake compatible as rear rim; 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
• High-gloss finish requires periodic cleaning to maintain appearance; use gentle cleaning methods
• 3K weave carbon provides visual aesthetic with consistent fiber pattern
• ERD 491mm for accurate spoke length calculation during wheel building
• Professional-grade component; recommended for racing-focused builds by experienced builders
