Constructed from Toray T700 carbon fiber in a UD (unidirectional) weave with a brake track surface, this rim accommodates 20x1.40\" to 20x1.95\" tires on the standard 406mm bead diameter. The 32mm width provides increased tire support and stability while achieving a significant weight reduction compared to aluminum rims of similar size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToray T700 carbon fiber\u003c\/strong\u003e – High-grade carbon weave provides exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio and durability, saving approximately 85-90g per rim compared to equivalent aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e32mm wide profile\u003c\/strong\u003e – Wider rim supports modern racing tires from 1.40\" to 1.95\", improving cornering stability and allowing lower tire pressures without tire roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake track surface\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designated braking surface compatible with caliper, U-brake, or V-brake systems (requires carbon-specific brake pads for optimal performance and safety)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUD carbon weave construction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Unidirectional fiber orientation optimizes strength along critical load paths while minimizing excess material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubeless-ready bead lock system\u003c\/strong\u003e – Internal bead lock profile allows tubeless tire setup when used with tubeless valve, rim tape, and sealant (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte finish with gloss decals\u003c\/strong\u003e – Matte carbon surface with glossy water transfer graphics available in four colors (white, blue, red, neon yellow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20\" (406mm bead diameter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim width (external):\u003c\/strong\u003e 32mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRim height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eERD (Effective Rim Diameter):\u003c\/strong\u003e 377.4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toray T700 carbon fiber, UD weave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpoke hole count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Presta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte carbon with gloss water transfer graphics (4 color options)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 305g (brake surface version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e V-brake, U-brake, caliper brake (brake track surface—requires carbon-specific brake pads)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTubeless compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, with bead lock system (requires tubeless valve, rim tape, and sealant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility and Ideal Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rim is designed for standard 20\" BMX frames using rim brakes—primarily as a rear wheel with V-brakes, though it also works with U-brakes or caliper brakes. The 406mm bead diameter is the standard BMX size used across racing, park, and street bikes. The 36-hole drilling works with standard 36-spoke hubs in various lacing patterns including 2-cross and 3-cross. Note the 377.4mm ERD requires proper spoke length calculation—verify spoke length before ordering or building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest suited for competitive BMX racers who use rim brakes and want maximum weight savings without sacrificing strength. The carbon construction saves approximately 180g (6 oz) per wheelset compared to equivalent aluminum rims, reducing rotational weight for faster acceleration. The 32mm width accommodates modern wider racing tires (1.60\" to 1.95\"), providing improved grip and tire stability at lower pressures. \u003cstrong\u003eCritical: This rim requires carbon-specific brake pads—standard rubber pads designed for aluminum will overheat the carbon and can cause catastrophic rim failure.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tubeless-ready design allows further weight reduction and puncture protection through sealant, though tubeless conversion requires additional components not included. Carbon rims require careful handling during installation and maintenance—overtightening spokes or using incorrect brake pads can damage the rim. Not recommended for disc brake or brakeless setups—IKON offers a brakeless surface version for those applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"gtx-trans\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gtx-trans-icon\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-1\"\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.brgstore.com\/img\/cms\/ICONES%20JANTES\/tubelessready.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-11\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTubeless Ready System\u003c\/strong\u003e - Our rims feature a Bead Lock System, needed for the rim to be Tubeless Ready.
