Our wheels come standard 11 speed compatible. If you purchased your wheels before 2014, you will require a new freehub body. MTB wheels come standard 9/10 speed compatible, but can be converted to Sram XD-11 speed by swapping out the freehub body.
-
Due to the flexibility of PBO spokes, they may feel under tensioned when compared to a rigid steel spoke. If you tension PBO spokes to the point where they may feel like steel spokes, you will have over-tightened the spoke and risk damaging rim. Increasing spoke tension beyond factory values will not improve performance or durability of the wheel. We recommend that you use a Park Tm-1 tension gauge to adjust spoke tension only if tension is below factory values, which may be found in your owner’s manual.
-
Use the provided nut driver to turn the nipple, which is only accessed under the rim tape after removing the tires. Use Spinergy spline tool to hold spoke stationary. Do not allow spoke to rotate while tensioning nipple. Failure to hold the spoke stationary while turning the nipple will cause wind up and twisting of the spoke and may permanently damage your wheels. If replacing a spoke, Loctite 248 should be applied to the spoke threads prior to assembly with the nipple.
-
We recommend you use the Corima red carbon-specific brake pads for Spinergy Stealth FCC 2016 and older. For the Stealth FCC 3.2 and 4.7, we recommend SwissStop Black Prince, Blue carbon pads. Using any other pad on full carbon rims may damage your rim.
