I wanted to make my Niner Rip e9, into a mullet (29r up front and 27.5 in the rear) and this wheel was the ticket. I had the Bosch system reprogrammed for the smaller diameter rear wheel and it's back to the normal cutoff at about 17.5 mph, as measured by GPS. Although the computer says 19 mph when the assistance cut off. Kind of normal for the Bosch. Set up tubeless no problem and seems to be plenty strong enough for an eMTB. Thanks for a great product!

Nach der ersten Fahrt mit den Laufrädern waren schon Speichen locker

Nach 500 km ist der Freilauf defekt. Ohne Last dreht die Kette mit. Dadurch fällt die Kette vor allem beim Downhill innert kurzer Zeit herunter.
Das Problem sei bekannt.
Der Händler muss eine Dichtung entfernen, damit der Freilauf wieder funktioniert.
In 3 Monaten würde ich ein Ersatzrad erhalten - vorher sei auch eine einzelne Nabe nicht lieferbar, bzw. der Importeur möchte das Laufrad als Ganzes auswechseln.
Die Nabe werde bis dann wegen Wasser- und Schmutzeintritt defekt sein.
1 Stern für das Produkt, 5 Sterne für den Händlerservice!

Frequently asked questions

Which hub components are reinforced for eMTB use?

The Trace eMTB hub is specifically engineered to handle the high-torque demands of electric mountain bikes. To ensure maximum durability, it features several robust components:

  • Steel Axle: Provides superior strength and structural integrity compared to standard materials.
  • Steel Cassette Body: Available in HG, XD, and Microspline options, the steel construction resists the heavy load and stress generated by e-bike motors.
  • Durable Cartridge Bearings: Designed for long-term reliability and smooth performance under aggressive riding conditions.
Is this high-performance wheel Tubeless Ready?

Yes, the Race Face Aeffect R eMTB wheel is designed to be Tubeless Ready, supporting modern tire setups for optimal performance.

Running tubeless offers several key benefits for aggressive trail riding:

  • Improved Grip: Allows you to run lower tire pressures for enhanced traction and handling.
  • Reliability: Greatly reduces the risk of pinch flats on rugged terrain.
  • Puncture Sealing: Sealant automatically repairs small punctures, keeping you rolling.
Are extra spokes included with the wheel?

Yes, 5 extra spokes are included with the rear wheel, which is a great bonus for maintenance and potential repairs.

Does this rim feature an optimal internal width?

Yes, the Aeffect R eMTB Wheel is designed with a 30mm internal rim width. This width is considered optimal for modern eMTB and trail riding tires, providing excellent tire profile support, stability, and control under the increased loads associated with full-power electric mountain bikes.
