Spank Oozy Trail 295 Bead-Bite MTB Rim 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 Rims. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Spank Oozy Trail 295 Bead-Bite MTB Rim.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Spank Oozy Trail 295 Bead-Bite MTB Rim 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 Rims. 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 Rims. 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 Rims 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.

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.

• Description: Spank Oozy Trail 295 Bead-Bite MTB RimThe MTB rim of choice for Spank’s Downhill World Cup Race Team and Big Mountain Freeriders, this light and resilient Oozy Trail 295 MTB Rim is innovative, versatile, and race-ready. Packed with high-end tech and super strong, the Oozy Trail MTB rim is pro-proven and ready for a custom build.Super-Strong and Super-Light Alloy MTB RimThis Oozy Trail 295 MTB Rim is made from an advanced alloy. Spank’s innovative, bespoke manufacturing process ensures that each alloy MTB rim is incredibly light and strong to withstand the most aggressive and technical trails. Tubeless ready so you can run whichever setup you prefer, the Oozy Trail rim also features Spank’s BeadNip™ technology for improved strength, durability, and comfort. Features:Material: MGR Dynamal AlloyRim Dimension (Depth): 22mmRim Dimension (External Width): 29.5mmRim Dimension (Internal): 24.5mmSpoke Count: 32Tubeless readyPolish anodised finishWeight: 470g (27.5"); 490g (29")Technologies:OohBah™: The unique OohBah™ profile allows us to manufacture thinner walled, wider profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tyre spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tyre performance. The "wave" shape of the OohBah™ inner tube adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevents buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support. The most important features of any rim are rigidity and weight. Rigidity or stiffness means more of your energy is transferred into drive force, (rather than flex) and acceleration/cornering/braking performance is improved. Reducing rolling weight in your wheels, more so than any other part on your bike, can dramatically reduce the energy needed to propel it forward. Take a look at a cross section of any given rim on the market. You’ll see that both the outer and inner walls are concave. Now check out a Spank rim. Spank’s unique patented OohBah™ profile is characterised by its inverted tube well. This increases rigidity immensely compared with conventional rim designs. The combination of a concave outer wall with a convex inner tube well, results in the addition of a new, never before seen "hoop strength" in the profile, which lends massive strength and stiffness to the rim as a whole, and places the centre of inertia in the optimum position nearer the centre of the profile.BeadNip™: Improved tyre fit. Another secret of Spank’s patented OohBah™ profile is Spank’s double BeadNip™ technology. The OohBah™ patent includes the addition of a second set of ‚Äúnips‚Äù on the inner tube well, which ensures that the tyre always remains in the bead-seat, even when riding at minimal air pressures. With Spank’s OohBah™ patented rims, you can ride the tyres you want, at the pressure you want, on any terrain‚Ķwith far less fear of flats! Traditional rim designs include only one set of bead hooks on the vertical walls or rim flanges. The vertical hooks are crucial for tyre retention. Without the bead hooks, the bead can slip inwards, leading to snake bites (pinch flats). In tubeless applications, BeadNip™ also acts to trap the bead, preserving the seal between tyre and rim, enhancing air pressure longevity and reducing annoying "burps".Dynamal Alloy: Safe, affordable and responsible alternative to carbon fibre. Utilising the endless lifecycle of aluminium, Spank’s proprietary alloy blends offer superior mechanical properties resulting in stronger rims and reduced weight through optimised design. Spank Industries has made a concerted effort to develop safe and affordable alternatives to the excessive use of carbon fibre in the bicycle manufacturing industry. Spank’s WC DH Race Teams and their most hard core Big Mountain Freeriders are running Spank’s Dynamal Alloy rims in the choice against carbon fibre. Unlike standard recycled alloy mixes, Dynamal is a dynamically aged highly magnesium-silicon enriched, pure alloy, which is blended with a special "secret" hardening metal. Compared to statically aged traditional alloy types, Dynamal shows a significant further increase in ultimate tensile strength and yield, without the normal reductions in fatigue life.MGR: Micro Grain Refinement – processes such as extrusion, forging and tube drawing can increase the strength of alloy materials by reducing the grain size. Spank uses state of the art proprietary metal forming methods, which further improve grain size consistency and orientation, and significantly reduce grain size beyond that of their competitors. No other bars or rims are subjected to the number of drawing steps or level of refinement as those offered by Spank. This leads to greater ultimate strength, toughness, and ductility…meaning confidence, comfort and safety.Buy¬†Spank Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
