RE:NEW HUNT 650B Adventure Sport Disc Wheelset
<h1>Rims</h1><i>Strong and light 6066-T6 (+34% tensile strength vs 6061-T6) heat-treated rim features an asymmetric shape which is inverted from front to rear to provide balanced higher spoke tensions meaning your spokes stay tight for longer. The profile is disc-specific, allowing higher-strength to weight as no reinforcement is required for a braking surface. The extra wide rim at 29mm (25mm int) creates a great tire profile with wider 35c+ tyres, giving excellent grip and lower rolling resistance.</i>
<h1>Nipples</h1><i>To accompany these high-end spokes we selected brass nipples for our Hunt 4Season wheels. Brass is strong and corrosion resistant plus it has self-lubricating properties to prevent issues that can arise from grit salt on the winter roads corroding the fine threads in alloy nipples. As well as the standard square body we chose nipples with a hex head so you can achieve precise tensioning.</i>
<h1>Bearings</h1><i>Bearings are the heart of any wheel and investing in them makes huge sense so we went to Japanese bearing experts EZO and invested extra to spec their high-grade precision sealed cartridge bearings in our full range.</i>
<h1>Freehub Body</h1><i>Durability is a theme for HUNT, as time and money you spend fixing is time and money you cannot spend riding or upgrading your bikes. This is especially important for a 4 Season bike you use regularly in harsh conditions. As a result, the freehub features our H_CERAMIK coating to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.</i>
<h1>Rim Profile</h1>
<h1>Rim Bed</h1><i>H_LOCK tubeless-ready rim bed profile. H_LOCK is our tubeless-ready rim bed profile, with up-kicks to the shoulders of the tubeless steps. This helps to create a great rim-well seal for first installation and easy sealing of tubeless tyres. The H_LOCK profile also locks the beads in place more securely once seated. This is especially important when running lower pressures off road.</i>
<h1>Spokes</h1><i>We chose the top-of-the-range Pillar Spoke Re-enforcement PSR XTRA models. These butted blade aero spokes are lighter and provide a greater degree of elasticity to maintain tensions and add fatigue resistance. These PSR J-bend spokes feature the 2.2 width at the spoke head providing more material in this high stress area. The nipples come with a square head so you can achieve precise tensioning. Combining these components well is key which is why all Hunt wheels are hand-built.</i>
<h1>Weight</h1><i>The consequence of the fanatic attention to detail is incredible durability and a resulting low 1594g gram wheelset weight. Acceleration and climbing are massively improved over many of the stock wheels supplied on road/gravel/CX disc brake bikes.</i>
<h1>Tyres</h1><i>At HUNT, we enjoy the puncture resistance and grip benefits of tubeless on our every-day rides so we wanted to allow our customers the same option. Of course, all of our tubeless-ready wheels are designed to work perfectly with clincher tyres and inner tubes too.</i>
<h1>Adaptability</h1><i>Our wheels are seriously future-proof. We can adapt your wheels to any current axle standard on the market, you just need to let us know what are your requirements by filling in the simple form on the confirmation page after checkout. As Shimano hydraulic brakes are appearing on many new bikes, we wanted riders to have the option so we went even more adaptable with centre-lock hubs</i>

THE SECOND IN A LINE OF MASON X HUNT COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS. THE GO-TO 650B/27.5" WHEELS FOR YOUR GRAVEL/BIKEPACKING RIG

19 Deep | 29 Wide Ext | 25 Wide Int | 1594g

The Purpose

The second MASON x HUNT collaboration, bringing go-anywhere capabilities to bikes like the fast, fun and highly-versatile MasonCycles.cc Bokeh. The new breed of Adventure Sport focused bikes have the ability and attitude for those fun trail thrashes and bike-packing adventures, whilst not compromising anything for fast-far road days. Read More

The opportunity to open up your riding comes from bikes which have geometry designed to ride excellently with both 700c or 27.5" (650b) wheels. This combination works thanks to the extra volume in a 2" x 27.5" tire, providing an almost identical external tire diameter to a normal road sized 700c wheel with a 33mm tire, leaving the bike geo unchanged. What was needed was a bike that could accommodate the extra tire width, while still running road groupsets, geo and components. That is exactly what Mason have created, and perfected with their incredible eye-for-detail.

We’re delighted to have designed the wheels for the job. These wheels will perfectly compliment other gravel bikes with dual 650b/700c compatibility. Oh, and if you are looking for a 700c wheelset for your drop bar adventure/go-anywhere bike, then our 4 SEASON GRAVEL DISC would be well worth a look. Read Less
