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 2mm (arc)/1,8mm 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 q/r skewer 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 realize the necessary tightening torque!
