Spank 350 Vibrocore XD MTB Wheelset features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Wheels. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Spank 350 Vibrocore XD MTB Wheelset.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Spank 350 Vibrocore XD MTB Wheelset is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Wheels. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Wheels. Brands like Spank are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Wheels category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Comparing Prices

It’s at this stage of the buying process, when you’re looking at different options, that you should set a budget. Do some research to understand how much roughly you can expect to pay for the sort of level of product that you’re looking for.

Spank 350 Vibrocore XD MTB Wheelset Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Spank 350 Vibrocore XD MTB Wheelset reviews there.

Owner reviews, as we say, are one of the most important pieces of research that we can do before we buy.

For unbeatable performance and control at any speed, you will be shredding with confidence with this smooth-riding, built for thrills wheelset that is guaranteed to rip up your next rideStrong and Light Downhill WheelsetWith a unique low-profile height and width, this is a rim that you can trust for maximum performance as you dominate your ride across tough terrains and conditions. Thanks to the addition of the XD Hub this wheelset is compatible with 11-speed drivetrains for an outstanding gearing experience as you climb and race away. With the advantage of being tubeless, you can fit tyres inflated to lower pressures for optimized traction when cornering and braking, while the enhanced Vibrocore injected foam in the inner well keeps your balance stable by reducing harmful vibration frequencies from the roughest of terrains. Supporting the wheels is the J-Hook triple butted spoke system which provides excellent strength and durability to keep their shape run after run. These wider designed rims will fit 2.0″ to 2.6″ and plus size tyres perfectly, making them the ultimate choice for downhill and free-riding.Features: Material:¬†High Performance Aluminium Inner Width: 30.5mm Outer Width:35mm Hole Count:¬†32 Valve:¬†F/V Presta Rear Hub: 12×142 Front Hub: 20×110 Free Hub: SRAM XD, 1×11-Speed Rear Adapter: 12×135 or 12×137 Front Adapter: 15×100 or Boost 20×110 Spokes and Lacing:¬†J-Hook, triple butted 2.2/1.8/2.0, Brass External Nipples; 32H – 3cross lacing Tubeless:¬†Tubeless equipped (tape and valves included) Technologies:¬†Vibrocore, Radial Compliance, Torsional Strength, Lateral Stiffness, BeadBite Anti-burp, OohBah Inverted Inner WallTechnologies: Vibrocore:¬†Vibrocore technology is injected into Spank Vibrocore products and dramatically reduces vibrations that can lead to hand and arm numbness, fatigue and arm-pump. This additional technology also increases overall stiffness and fatigue life of the product. Vibrocore is one of the biggest innovations in Rim technology as it increases the radial compliancy, lateral stiffness and torsional strength while also damping vibrations from the trail. BeadBite:¬†At an incredible range of pressures, Bead Bite is the solution to keeping your tires burp free and fixed in place. Bead Bite rim technology enhances tubeless use with tires of all types and with a greater range of air pressures. Bead Bite rims have 6 rows of tiny ridges that run along the vertical and horizontal faces of the bead seats. These tiny teeth create air seals between the rim and tire as the bead conforms into them under air pressure. They dramatically increase frictional forces on the tire bead, reducing the beads’ ability to move vertically or horizontally (thus improving tire stability and reducing burps). The bead literally becomes trapped between the vertical and horizontal ridges, even at very low air pressures. Even in tubed applications, Bead Bite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with reduced risk of pinch flats. OohBah:¬†The unique OohBah profile allows Spank to manufacture thinner walled, wider profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tire spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tire performance. The “wave” shape of the OohBah inner tube adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevent buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support.Buy¬†Spank Wheels & Tyres¬†from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
