PRESS RELEASE: Halo WheelsRidge Line WheelsAre you looking for a 27.5" trail wheelset that offers tubeless compatibility, Boost and non-Boost bolt through fitments and a 30mm internal width, all for under £240.00 ($310.00 USD)? Our new Ridge Line wheel is the very answer.
The Ridge Line wheelset fills a gap in our range and is aimed at riders looking to maximise time on the trail and minimise expense.
Ridge Line wheels are built around our RL hubs which use a smooth 5 pawl 30 click engagement drive, a cro-mo axle and freehub as well as sealed bearings, to deliver great performance and compatibility.
100% hand built and supplied pre-taped, Ridge Line wheels are tubeless ready from the box.
Tubeless AccessoriesTo complement our range of tubeless compatible wheels, we also now offer a complete package of tubeless tape, valves and Fibre-Tech Tubeless Sealant.
Fibre-Tech Tubeless Sealant uses a synthetic latex base formula and is non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-allergenic and lasts up to six months. Coupled with our revolutionary high density micro fibre technology ‘Fibre Tech’, holes up to 6mm are sealed instantly. It's also made in our home country, England.
Unlike some other sealants on the market, Fibre-Tech sealant does not collect in a ball when dry. Simply top up and keep on riding.
Available in a handy 250ml direct application bottle and a workshop sized 5L bottle with injector pump.
Our tubeless valves are pretty modest looking, but offer a built in core removal tool which can be used on the trail for those nightmare trailside fixes and workshop 'where the f**k did I put that' moments. Each set of valves also come with a tool box core removal tool and are available in multiple lengths.
Having used many types of tubeless tape of the years we have finally settled on what we think is the bomb, so now we are offering it to you! Our tape has highly adhesive, with slightly elastic properties to conform to the rim bed. Available in many widths and two package sizes- singular wheelset rolls and workshop 50m rolls.

MENTIONS: @halo-wheels
SRAM is the garbage cassette. Make you buy their 'top' offerings if you want something that isn't going chew up your freehub.
Genuine question.
- opened the tyre but only the bead from one side;
- patched it from the inside;
- inflated it with CO2 cartridge and it was sealed again.
No more issue after that.
also these rims look mint and I'm after a new set so I might just be putting an order in
Schrader valves were too wide for skinny rims, though given rims tend to be much wider they would probably work ok now.
the kit I bought at auto zone ($3) came with patches. a metal scourpad and rubber cement.
Give a Light cleaning and scuff. Rubber cement the area, remove liner, apply patch then clamp over night.
There is a clear plastic that says radial I removed the next day.
After breaking several rear wheels in my commuter bike (which I use not only for riding to work, it often carries me along with my two kids, groceries and all that) I built a new rear wheel with a steel Van Schothorst (Ryde) rim and 36 2.5mm spokes (with 4mm thick nipples). With the Shimano Nexus N7 (7 speed internal gear) hub. It made for a 3kg wheel (without tire). The factory built wheel it replaced (also with the N7 hub) was 2.5kg. It is keeping up nicely though.
