The Drive 40D is dedicated to those who want an all-rounder that is more geared towards riding in the hills and mountains. The wheelset features carbon spokes, light and stiff UNI carbon fiber as well as high precision, ceramic bearing hubs. It is tubeless ready and has the added benefit of having a 21mm internal rim width. The Drive 40D wheelset is for those who want professional-level wheels at a consumer friendly price. It comes in at only 1260g for the pair.
Is there an internal nipple option?
Internal nipples are not available because the nipples for carbon spokes are specially processed. The contact angle between spokes and spoke holes is extremely important. Spokes should not directly come into contact the rim directly, otherwise there would be a high likelihood of having spoke break.
Can I change to 6-bolt?
Yes. Drive uses center lock hubs by default, but if you want to use 6-bolt, contact us and we will send you an adapter at no extra cost.
Are ceramic bearings easily broken?
As all our our hubs have high-precision manufacturing tolerances, bearing play is significantly reduced. Because of this, the likelihood of bearings being damaged is extremely low.
What does the rider weight limit include?
The rider weight limit includes the total weight of the rider, bike, gear, and any other accessories. Please do not exceed this weight.
What tire pressures should I run?
The best tire pressure for you depends on many factors: the rim width, type of bike and tires, rider weight, road conditions and weather conditions.
