THE PURPOSE

동급의 steel spoked wheelsets에 비해서 30.16%까지 측면 휨현상 (lateral flex)이 적음으로 하여 1,300gram 미만의 초경량 휠임에도 상당한 수준의 강성 (stiffness) 증가를 시킨 휠셋이다. Hunt 36 UD Carbon Spoke wheelset은 혁신적인 체결방식을 도입하여 접착제 본딩없이 순수하게 기계적인 체결방식으로 carbon spokes를 잡아주는 독자적으로 개발한 TaperLock을 적용하여 일반적인 steel spoke와 동일하게 텐션 조정과 림 정렬이 가능하게 해준다(Carbon Spoke Tension 조정은 림테이프를 제거한 후 림 내부에 체결된 스포크 헤드를 육각 렌치로 돌려 조정). 또한 TaperLock UD Carbon spokes는 450kgf (kilogrms force per spoke)가 넘는 믿을 수 없는 수준의 최대 인장 강도 (maximum tensile strength)를 가져 선도적인 steel spokes들이 300kgf를 가지는 것과 대비된다. 마지막으로 혁신적인 filament wound rims이 적용되어 스트레스가 많은 spoke area를 더욱 강화하고 다른 부분은 감량을 하여 1,295gram이라는 초경량의 신뢰성이 높은 강한 휠셋을 개발하였다.

FEATURES

TaperLock UD Carbon Spoke Technology: 대부분의 현존하는 carbon-spoked wheel들은 접착제 (adhesive bonding) 또는 레진 (resin)을 사용하여 spokes를 부착하는데 이런 방식은 근본적으로 spokes가 rim structure와 일체화되기 때문에 정비성 (serviceability)이 나쁘게 된다. 그러나 Hunt의 TaperLock 체결 방식 (construction method)은 일반 steel spokes와 마찬가지 방식으로 carbon spokes를 기계적인 방식으로 체결할 수 있는 것으로 각 spoke 끝단 둘레에 알루미늄 소재의 체결 부품 (aluminum nipple)을 카본 가열 가공 과정 (curing process)에서 일체화시켜 허브 홀마다 장착되어 타이트하게 당겨서 체결되게 된다. 이 Spoke의 rim 체결 부위는 사각 형태의 나사선 방식의 스틸 체결 부품 (threaded squared steel nipple)이 일체화되어 있으며 rim bed 내부에 고정된 nut에 기본으로 제공되는 spoke key를 사용하여 internal spoke holes를 통해서 체결하게 된다. 이 steel nipple은 표준적인 사각 형태로 (standard square outer shape) 텐션 조정 과정에서도 spoke가 직선 형태로 유지될 수 있게 한다. 

Filament Wound Rims with Spoke Area Reinforcement: adaptive filament winding process를 통해 레이업된 rim으로 이 공법은 rim 전반에 걸쳐서 carbon layup 두께와 적용을 달리하게 된다. 이 공법은 spoke로부터 rim의 나머지 부분까지 힘의 전달을 최적화하며 spoke area는 재료를 보강하여 강성을 높이고 spoke와 spoke 사이 rim 부분은 불필요한 중량을 최소화하게 된다. U- profile wide rim 형상으로 탁월한 핸들링과 다양한 yaw-angle winds로 인한 drag를 줄여준다. 당연히 tubeless-ready를 지원한다.

CERAMICSPEED BEARINGS: Hunt 36 UD Carbon Spoke Wheel은 CeramicSpeed's industry-leading hybrid ceramic bearings이 freehub body까지 기본 장착된다. CeramicSpeed Balls은 최고급의 Grade 3 Silicon Nitride로서 최상의 표면 처리와 완벽한 구의 형태를 가진다. Bearing balls은 베어링의 성능과 수명을 결정하는데 CeramicSpeed Balls은 비교할 수 없는 수준의 충격 강도 (impact strength), 부드러운 윤활성 (smoothness), 완벽한 구의 형태 (roundness) 그리고 매짐성 (brittleness: 유리처럼 연성이 없이 깨지는 성질)을 가진다. Hunt는 이렇게 최고 수준의 낮은 저항 베어링을 생산하는 CeramicSpeed과 50 UD Carbon Spoke Wheels에서 다시 개발 파트너가 되어 가장 낮은 구름 저항을 실현하였다.  Hunt Sprint freehub body는 ratchet ring의 48 teeth와 3개의 이빨을 가진 pawls가 사용되어 믿을 수 없는 낮은 각도인 7.5°의 체결 각도를 가진다. 이로 인하여 즉각적인 체결로 페달링의 파워 손실을 최소화하며 빠르게 달릴 수 있다. 휠셋의 강성은 스피드와 비례하기에 대구경인 15mm diameter hub axles을 적용하였다. 

[주의] 세라믹스피드 세라믹 베어링은 3,000km 또는 1년중 빨리 도달하는 때에 맞추어 베어링 세척후 전용 그리스로 새롭게 도포후 사용해야 되며 이러한 기본적인 베어링 관리를 지키지 않아 생기는 문제에 대해서는 무상 AS가 불가능하오니 유의하시기 바랍니다. 

RIMS: rim 부위별로 carbon layup을 상이하게 적용하는 adaptive filament winding process 공법이 적용된 rim으로 외부폭 26mm, 내부폭 19mm를 가져 공기 주입이후 완벽한 타이어 형상 (tyre profile)을 가지게 되며 이로 인해 탁월한 그립력과 낮은 구름저항을 가지게 된다. 일본 Toray T700/T800 unidirectional과 3K weave carbon-fibre 소재를 사용하였으며 rim bed와 spoke areas에는 3K weave carbon-fibre가 적용되었다. carbon 가닥 그대로 적용된 rim surface는 matt white로 마무리되어 대조가 되는 그래픽 효과를 가진다.

RIM SURFACE: High TG resin이 적용되어 장거리 내리막에서도 극강의 신뢰할 수 있는 브레이킹 성능과 내구성을 가진다.  연구소 실험에서 섭씨 200도의 매우 높은 브레이킹 테스트로 한계점까지 테스트를 햇으며 Griptec Braking 표면과 rim에 사용된 고온용 resin은 극단적으로 높은 브레이킹 발열에서도 브레이킹 성능을 발휘하도록 디자인되었으며 실제로 장거리의 가파르고 빠른 내리막 코스가 많은 알프스산 (the Alps)에서 rim braking wheels을 테스트하여 그 성능을 검증하였다. 헌트는 림브레이크 휠셋 개발과정에서 많은 다른 브랜드의 브레이크 패드를 테스트하지만 모든 패드를 테스트할 수 없기에 가능하면 헌트 림브레이크 휠셋에는 Hunt Brakco Griptec Carbon Specific Rim Brake Pads만 사용할 것을 권장합니다.

RIM BED: H-Lock은 헌트만의 tubeless-ready rim bed profile로서 튜브리스 타이어의 처음 장착도 수월하게 하며 완벽한 밀착을 도와준다. H-Lock profile은 한번 타이어가 장착되면 더욱 확실하게 타이어 비드가 림에 완벽하게 걸리도록 해주는데 그로 인해서 보다 낮은 공기압을 사용하거나 오프로드를 라이딩할 때 매우 중요한 의미를 가진다. 

HUBS: Carbon spoke 체결을 위해 최적화된 TaperLock SPRINT hubs는 강성과 파워 전달력을 향상시켜 직진성이 탁월하며 대구경 15mm diameter hub axles 적용으로 스프린트나 오르막 댄싱에서의 반응성을 향상시켜준다. 원형의 dropout interface steps은 추가적인 강성 확보에 도움을 준다.

FREEHUB BODY: 각각 3개의 이빨을 가진 3개의 pawls과 48 tooth ratchet ring이 사용되어 상당히 낮은 7.5도의 체결 각도와 과도한 하중에서도 탁월한 내마모성을 제공한다. Sprint freehub는 강한 개별 pawl spring을 가지고 있어 보다 빠른 체결이 가능하게 하며 Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement로 일반 alloy freehub body에서 볼 수 있는 cassette sprocket damage로부터 탁월한 내구성을 지닌다.

HUNT 36 UD CARBON SPOKE WHEELSET - Tubeless Ready

UD CARBON SPOKES, CERAMICSPEED BEARINGS, FILAMENT WOUND RIMS 

CAUTION: Use HUNT Brakco Griptec carbon specific rim brake pads with these wheels

36 DEEP | 26 WIDE | 1,295G | CERAMICSPEED

THE PURPOSE

With up to a 30.16% reduction in lateral flex over equivalent steel spoked wheelsets (please click here for full testing methodology and results), the 36 UD Carbon Spoke wheels have been engineered to provide you a significant increase in stiffness as well an impressively low sub 1300g weight. Using an innovative construction method, the 36 UD Carbon Spoke wheelset offers carbon spokes that are held purely mechanically, with no bonding required. We call this TaperLock, and it allows for carbon spokes that can be trued and maintained just like a normal steel spoke.

Plus the TaperLock UD Carbon spokes are incredibly strong achieving over 450kgf (kilograms force per spoke) maximum tensile strength, this compares to leading steel spokes wich only reach 300 kgf. The innovative filament wound rims feature spoke area reinforcement, which creates strength where you need it and saves you vital grams everywhere else.

FEATURES

TaperLock UD Carbon Spoke Technology: Most existing carbon-spoked wheels use adhesive bonding or resin to attach the spokes (essentially making them integral to the structure of the rim - not ideal for serviceability). However, the TaperLock construction method has enabled us to develop wheels with carbon spokes that are as usable as steel ones. At the hub end of the of the spoke an aluminum mandrel is placed around the spoke during the curing process, and is pulled tight against the (tapered) head of the spoke. The rim end of the spoke is fitted in the same way with a threaded steel mandrel, and can be trued using a spoke key on a nut from within the rim bed (accessible through the internal spoke holes). The steel mandrel has a standard square outer shape allowing the spoke to be held straight whilst any adjustments are made to the internal nipple.

Filament Wound Rims with Spoke Area Reinforcement: The rims are laid up by an adaptive filament winding process, which varies the layup thickness and orientation across the rim. The layup pattern places fibres aligned in a series of increasing angles radiating from the spoke hole up to the tire bed. This technology optimises the transmission of force from the spoke to the rest of the rim, and provides additional material to create high strength at the spoke area while minimising unnecessary weight between the spokes. Wide rims with a U-profile provide great handling and reduce drag across multiple wind yaw-angles. Of course, they are also tubeless-ready.

Lateral Stiffness Testing in Detail:

1. The rear wheel is secured at the hub axle in a heavy-duty machining rig.
2. The rim is rotated horizontally to determine how in true it is and to determine the point to suspend weight (point of most deflection).
3. The dial measuring the deflection is zero’d and a 10kg weight hung from the rim within 25mm of both a spoke and the clock.
4. The elastic deformation is recorded.
5. The permanent deformation is taken now.

HUNT 36 Carbon Wide Aero 24 spoke rear wheel. Deflection with 10 kg weight = 3.15 mm | Initial error = 0.51mm

HUNT 36 UD Carbon Spoke 21 spoke rear wheel. Deflection with 10kg weight = 2.2 mm | Initial error = 0.31mm

The permanent deflection is negligible for both wheelsets.

CONCLUSION | The HUNT 36 UD Carbon Spoke will deflect 30.16% less laterally compared to the equivalent wheelset with high-specification steel spokes even with 3 less spokes in the wheel.

CERAMICSPEED BEARINGS: The 36 UD Carbon Spoke will come fully equipped with CeramicSpeed's industry-leading hybrid ceramic bearings, even in the freehub body. All CeramicSpeed Balls are of the highest quality Grade 3 Silicon Nitride, featuring the highest achievable surface finish and roundness. The quality of the balls is what determines the performance and lifetime of a bearing. The CeramicSpeed Balls feature unparalleled impact strength, smoothness, roundness and brittleness. The leaders in low friction bearings CeramicSpeed have again partnered with us on the hubs for the 36 UD Carbon Spoke Wheels so you know your rolling resistance is at its lowest. The freehub body on the HUNT SPRINT hub features 48 teeth on the ratchet ring, and treble-tooth pawls, providing an incredible 7.5° engagement. Perfect for when the hammer goes down and you need an instant response. Stiffness = speed... so we specced large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and out-of-saddle efforts.

RIMS: Using an adaptive filament winding process, which varies thickness and orientation across the rim, these rims achieve a very light weight and excellent transmission of force from the spoke to the rest of the rim. The process also provides additional material to create high strength at the spoke areas while minimising unnecessary weight between the spokes. They are wide at 27mm (19mm int.) which creates a great tyre profile, resulting in excellent grip and lower rolling resistance. Toray T700/T800 unidirectional and 3K weave carbon-fibre with 3K weave bed and spoke areas.

RIM SURFACE: High TG resin provides extremely reliable braking and durability for longer descents. We lab test all our rims to very high braking temp (200 C) to push their limits. The high temp resins used for our Griptec Braking surfaces and rims are designed and perform to extremely high levels of braking heat build-up. We also ride test our rim brake wheels in the Alps to ensure the wheels are put through their paces on long, steep and fast descents.

RIM BED: H-Lock is our tubeless-ready rim bed profile with up-kicks to the shoulders of the tubeless steps which help 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 or riding off-road.

HUBS: Carbon spoke optimised TaperLock SPRINT hubs add strength and enhance power transfer meaning all your force pushes you forwards. Large 15mm diameter hub axles for sprinting and out-of-saddle climbing responsiveness. Circular dropout interface steps add extra stiffness.

FREEHUB BODY: Featuring a 3 multi-point pawls with 3 teeth each and a 48 tooth ratchet ring results in an impressively low 7.5 degree engagement angle and excellent resistance to wear under heavy loads. The Sprint freehub has strong individual pawl springs which engage quicker. There is also a Steel Spline Insert re-enforcement to provide excellent durability against cassette sprocket damage often seen on standard alloy freehub bodies.

CARBON SPOKES: Incredibly strong (achieving over 450kgf per spoke) TaperLock UD carbon spokes offering 30% increase in stiffness against steel ones. Only 2.7g per spoke. Due to the TaperLock technology, these spokes can be trued easily using a spoke key from within the rim bed.
