Thanks to the use of PHR washers, which distribute stresses on the large surface of the rim, the thickness of the walls can be maintained at such a low level that the rotational mass in the bike can be reduced as much as possible. All this to achieve one simple goal: faster driving The connecting elements between hubs and rims are spokes and nipples.

We used the Sapim Sprint spokes. Spokes are butted 2.0-1.7-2.0.

Sapim's anodized Polyax nipples are treated with a special coating to increase durability and allow for easier wheel building. Aluminium saves weight,compared to other materials like brass. Sapim's patented Secure Lock technology is a locking mechanism that prevents nipples from untightening. The advantages of this easy locking system are the possibility to use them on a truing machine and that there is no loose function while truing the wheel. Highly precise and accurate machines have specifically been developed to produce this type of locking system. They ensure stable and well defined deformation on the thread and increase the nipple's torsion about 18 cNm (+/- 3 cNm).
