THE MOST ROBUST CARBON WHEELSET
Asymmetric rims, angled spoke holes, and reinforced spoke beds allow us to remove material where it is not needed and reduce unnecessary strain in the wheel, maximizing rigidity without adding excess weight.
FRONT AND REAR SPECIFIC
Each wheel has a different job to do and experiences different forces. OQUO wheels use front and rear-specific designs, which means considering rim profiles and spokes, and building specifications carefully to maximise performance. It is more work, but the benefits are clear
PINCH PROTECTION
On tubeless wheels, pictures happen when the tire is pinched between an external object and the edge of the rim. Increasing the width of the rim profile in these points greatly reduces the likelihood of these punctures
ASYMMETRIC RIMS
Asymmetric rims allow us to make a more triangular shape with the spokes from each side of the rim, balancing the spoke lengths and tensions. This means each spoke takes an equal amount of strain. In short, asymmetric rims means fewer spoke sizes, more balanced tensions, and stronger, more reliable wheels.
ANGELED SPOKE HOLES
Matching the angle of the spoke holes to the angle that the spoke leaves the rim at means that we can greatly reduce the stress at the spoke head. Implementing this technology requires added design and manufacturing work, but the result is a far more reliable wheel with less chance of breaking spokes.
J-BEND SPOKES
In our reliability testing J-Bend spokes show a significant increase in fatigue resistance, meaning a wheel which stays true and strong for longer
SECURE NIPPLE LOCK
We apply a custom threadlock liquid to each nipple individually. This liquid creates increased friction between the threaded part of the spoke and the nipple, eliminating the air between them, and ensuring that the spokes don't lose tension whilst allowing adjustment if needed
REINFORCED SPOKE BEDS
There is more stress on a rim where the spokes exert tension. Reinforcing these areas increases the reliability of the rim without adding excessive weight.
HOOKLESS RIMS
Hookless rims have straight sidewalls, rather than a hooked design. the main advantage is that they are lighter however with our Wide Bead design we have also measured a significant improvement in impact resistance.
