The XC disc brake wheel
There already exists enough literature concerning wheels, so just a few tips how
a well-built X-country disc brake wheel has to be.
Use spokes with a diameter of 2 mm (arc) / 1,8 mm which you cross three times.
No radial lacing with disc brake wheels!
Head-inside-spokes (=arc-outside-spokes have to be pulled, i.e. these spokes point forward
on the front wheel; on the back wheel these spokes point forward on the rotor
side and backwards on the drive side. All spokes have to be stressed equally and high.
Mount the quick release of the wheel on the opposite side of the caliper!
Never use ultra lightweight quick releases with titanium or aluminum axles for
your wheel sets in combination with a disc brake. You will not be in a position to rea-
lize the necessary tightening torque!
