WTB Proterra Light i23 Wheel

Features

• Made from extruded 6069 aluminum alloy to optimize strength with a bead blast finish and durable water-transfer decals to keep your wheels looking fresh
• Open-cavity profile features thin, weight-optimized walls that provide an optimal blend of stiffness, resilience and efficiency
• Wheel design combines the long-term reliability of a 3-cross lacing pattern with the weight savings of alloy nipples
• 23 mm inner rim width provides the ideal tire profile for adventure road and gravel tires ranging 30–42 mm; also ideal for drop bar bikes with tires ranging 32—40 mm
• Frequency hub features a low-drag, 6-pawl design that alternates contact between 2 sets of 3-pawl groupings to provide a responsive 5° of freehub engagement
• WTB TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is a standardized tubeless rim/tire system designed to meet international ETRTO standards
• Durable nylon Solid Strip prevents TCS tubeless tape from pushing into the spoke holes and ensures a smooth interface between the tire and rim
• This smooth surface makes it easier to mount a tire by preventing air from escaping around the bead at each indent during inflation
• Solid Strip also helps protect the airtight system from puncture in the case of a broken spoke
• Wheel comes with Solid Strip, TCS tubeless tape and black alloy valves already installed, making it ready for tubeless tires and sealant right out of the box
• Ideal for adventure road, gravel and cyclocross usage
• Hand-built in a WTB facility
• Max rider weight: 265 lbs.
